^^^you can...ebay's your best bet....

**word of caution tho...I'm gonna have to re-do mine since I didn't leave any kind of a gap to let the heat dissipate from the bulb. even with the jb weld, the capsules just fell off.

Next time use High temp silicon from Permatex. I used it in my 99 maxima fogs with the same lexus capsules, and they've been good for over two years now. The Silicone itself is red when it comes out of the tube, but don't worry becuase you dont see it when the lights are on.

Would it not just be easier to get the yellow HID conversion kit? it would be a brighter light as well.

It's not the same type of yellow. It's bright, but the color isn't the same.
