Nice DIY, I got 10.000K in my fog light and you need to take engine cover under the car and some **** if you want xenon in your fog. And i got Xenon light in all light on front of my car and it´s legal in Iceland and THE POWER of high light.

Looks i dunno about yellow fog lamp bulbs? it's not goin to be that deep yellow that you see in the LEXUS's because the lense are yellow as well. FOG lamps are suppose to be yellow in general for safety but looks wise check out www.cardomain.com and look at ppl head light setup and choose what you want from there

Ok i've had my HID's for half a year now, ballasts mounted on the wheel well but 4 times the distance away from the ESP module as in these pics. While the ballast isn't too close to the actual module, it is close to the bundling of wires that eventually connect to the module...do i need to reposition the ballast or is it over-paranoid to think that i can fry the ESP by the close promity to the wires only?

Out Of Control!!
That's what I did; I didn't bother with the yellow tinted covers, as I already had clear lens protectors on the foggies, but if you want it to look yellow when they're not on, then you can do what maverick did.

ya i got yellow bulbs and yellow tint from stickercity.com...i cut out a square section and then stuck it on and then used a straight edge to trim around the light assembly...its not perfect since its not an easty fit or process but it looks great from 5' back and beyond! plus the yellow bulbs plus yellow tint makes a truly deep yellow color show!

Sorry, nto trying to be an a$$ but if you go through this thread you'll see some of the good locations. The only case that has been reported to these forums is where the ballast was directly mounted onto the module... how close can you be to the module without ruining it? as far as possible i would think

I think my camera just blows. They've got perfect aim and the camera recording simply doesn't do them justice. I wonder how I can capture their coverage better without having to buy a more expensive camera?

So if you get any trouble you can buy error cancellers.
But I think sometimes he has to turn off his car then on (only first start) because he gets a malfunction.
