IS 300 Fog Lights Look

Did a search already and I think Citron has done this, I've wanted an IS 300 for a long time but I obviously got a C230K SS.

I guess this has led me to want the front set up just like the IS 300. Has anyone put yellow fogs in? I like the HID and yellow fogs combination. What brand do you recommend for yellow fogs? I think I read here its 9006, but I think I saw in the manual "H Something."

I seen one guy do this but he used just regular 'yellowish' bulbs it looked pretty good, I dont know if he posts here though-i think he did posted pix/DIY only on mbklasse sorry

If you don't want to spend the money on PIAA's you can also go with MTEC bulbs. I have their Yellow Ion Bulbs in my Angel Eye fogs, and have been happy with the look/performance. Not too expensive either.

bought good bulbs for mine, cost me $60. make sure you get decent bulbs if your going to do this.

i like the look alot! not for everyone, but what the hell does nicedeboy know, yellow fogs are effective fogs.

Agreed. Yellow are the most effective for driving in inclement weather and I like the look a lot better that superwhite. I personally think it looks ricey/cheap when the whole reflector area looks blue because of a SW bulb.

Here's the one I got:
But your pictures were much better and had a good close-up of the yellow fogs....

Thanks.... I appreciate that.

If you have a front view I'd like to see that one as well. Do you think it has that IS 300 look? That is really what I'm trying to achieve, xenon's up top and yellow fogs on the bottom.

What do you think?

yes very much so. when you are in the car you can see how the light closer to the car is yellow and the light further away is bright white, the xenon look. the other pics i have are not as clear and crisp as the one i posted. but the car does definately have the IS300 look, with better styling and color of paint.

Cool

Not for nothing,....but if this o98eclipse guy is pining so badly for an IS300....why didn't he just buy one instead of a C-class?

Or......he's a troll (my browser just kicked back a cookie for mbklasse.com)

i didnt do mine for the IS300 look. i wanted yellow fogs, because they are more effective than white. also with the lemon theme going on, with the paint, VTAMN C license plate, i thought little lemon drops for fogs would look cool.

Just because I like the IS 300 light setup does that mean I have to like the car as a whole???
