HOTBOX3ric · 09-29-2009, 09:26 AM

Hi. I want to know what are the yellowest fog lights one can get that are not in the oem housing AND are non HID. I went to walmart and saw the blazer ones for like 23 dollars but are there any other options you guys might know about? amazon has Hella optilux 1450's for like 30 something bucks...

They sell OEM style yellow tinted fog light housings on ebay that are pretty darn yellow.

I got the yellow, wally world ones. The pretty yellow, good for 2 bucks. The bulbs aren't yellow though, but they look yellow cause the gold reflector on the inside. They fit great in place of the pop out thing on the lower grill. Hope i never need a tow. . .

you guys are great! thanks im going to look into piaa and i couldnt really find any wally world fog lights??? just an amusement park lol

i think i'm going to go with the hella optilux 1450 and then buy some "H3 NOKYA HYPER YELLOW BULBS 70W 2500K STAGE 1" from ebay...

You can also get the bulbs for the fogs in Yellow or Amber LED version: Headlights & Fog Lights

Alright, here is yellow headlight bulbs: (note, these are NOT HID)

Here is McCulloch 3000K HIDS: (these are REAL HIDS, ballast, igniters and all)

These are Amber Fogs: (OEM Lens, painted Amber.. There is a DIY in the DIY section)

What you are referring too in your OP are not HID Fogs. They are Halogen Fogs. Unfortunately the term HID is properly miss used amongst brand packaging, and has effectively become miss used amongst consumers...

An HID lighting system is a gas filled light bulb, a ballast, a igniter and relay, as well as a power supply. If you are just replacing a bulb, and not adding extra power (or essentially wiring) it is not an HID. Just a Simulated HID color.

well i'm planning on getting hid fogs in the future but wanted something really yellow without going hid for now. i'm HELLA broke!!!

how difficult would it be to install the non-oem fog lights that go on the lower grill?

would you have to drill? or remove the bumper? and also the switch as well, how do we go about on that?

mr_bb2u · 10-02-2009, 12:14 AM

personally just spend the 60-80 bucks and get some 3000k hids...thats what i did and i usually run only my fogs at night...

lamin-x

since I cant post links for another 4 posts - google the above.

make any light any color you want. I suggest using lamin-x and a good yellow bulb (ebay ones worked just fine for me) and you should be golden (hehe)

I've had painted housings, yellow bulbs and finally Lexus/Acura inserts on my supras, and the yellowest of all, is the Lexus/Acura inserts. I have plain yellow bulbs from eBay on my OEM xB's fogs, but I'm thinking of converting them to signals, and having fogs in the headlights...

JDM_Imperial_bB · 10-03-2009, 08:37 AM

stay away from the ebay bulbs... wattage is too high and will eventually burn your harnesses....

get your bulbs from H4 Solaris Yellow... they have the bulb you need and at the right wattage

I took the mesh gill inserts out and drilled a hole behind them. I have a bolt going through the back of the fog light housing and through the bumper. You can reach underneath to put on a nut on the inside of the bumper.

If you keep the mesh inserts, the mod is completely reversible.

As for the wiring, if you done any before, its easy. Go google how a relay works. You can get a headlight one from any parts store or junk yard, get the cheapest one. I tapped my dimmer switch for the 12v signal, so my fogs go on with my sidemarkers/headlights. I also have separate switch to turn the fogs by themselves.

I would write a DIY, but there are so many on this subject.
Good Luck!

so by mesh inserts, u mean the ones the pop out blocking the tow hook? and you drilled the fogs to those? wouldnt you be afraid of them falling off??

i havent done wiring before so i wouldnt know...so isnt it possible to hook it to the battery?

thanks!
