Ahh the semi-difficult question lol
i know ive seen most of you guys having them yellow fogs for ur cars.. (sweet btw)
I have the Nokya Artic white (gives off that HID - blue tint to my lights) for headlights, AS WELL as the fogs. would it be better if i just changed my fogs to yellow? or keep them?
when my fogs light up now with the Nokya's.. they shine a white crisp light. but at an angle from the distance, it look white/blue/green-ish .
any input is fine, cuz im really partial to both answers.
thanks guys. you guys help out a lot *thumbs up*

Option #1.
If you just want a simple upgrade without too much hassle. Get 9005 Nokya yellow bulbs and retro fit them to fit the 9006 socket. Yes I had them for over a year with zero issues. Yellow Capsules on top of that too.
:drinking: Plus made them independent so the fogs can be turned on and off when I want even when the headlamps where off. There is a diy for retrofit and independent on this site.

Option #2. If you want more of a project. Retro fit lexus yellow capsules into your housing so you can always use regular or 9005 bulbes and the output is always yellow.

Option #3. Or if your realy lazy just get yellow 9006 bulbs and call it a day.

Option #4. Yellow HID! lol.

My optinion. Do number 1 or 2.

visit www.hidtech.com for more info on capsules.

so im guessing that most ppl would say that me getting the Nokya YELLOW bulbs would give it a much cleaner look than the Nokya Arctic White bulbs that I already have in there?
(arctic white gives off the blue tint).
(the nokya yellow, well.. obviously gives off.. yellow)

Don't forget the option of just installing H10 fog lights, which is the stock bulbs. I have H10 for my fogs.

You dont need to get the nokya 9005 bulbs cause they make 9006 bulbs in yellow. Thats what I use.
