Opinion on yellow ion fog lights for my clk

Hey,

What do you guy think of putting PIAA Gold ION H3 fog lights in a CLK 430. I have the XENONS. I saw this set up on Lexus IS300 and the Lexus GS Series. Also please post a Picture you have this set up. Opinions??

Before I got my carlsson bumpers and put the angel eye foglights in there, I had yellow H3's in my foglights. They looked great in there - the lights were not quite as yellow as an IS300's lights, but they had a similar effect and looked nice in my opinion (obviously, some people won't care for yellow). Yellow is the best choice for foul weather lights anyway ;0)

...not to mention it doesn't attract mosquitoes and other flying insects.

IMHO, yellow fogs are becoming a trademark of Lexus. I wouldn't want to do anything to my car that most people already associate with another brand (especially a rival brand).

Definitely for a GS. But if you insist, I had the PIAA Crystal Ion Yellow fogs in my old car and it was the closest yellow to a GS that I could find and I tried alot of them.
