Default Yellow H3 Foglight bulbs

Where can I find H3 foglight bulbs? Like the color of the Lexus GS400 foglights, bright, crystal yellow.

The closest thing I came across is the PIAA H3 ION CRYSTAL YELLOW BULBS. Does anyone have these? If so share some pictures if you have any.



Or if you guys know any H3 Yellow bulbs you'd like to recommend, please do so. Don't make me go to the Lexus dealership and give them my arm and leg. TIA!

I did a review on these bulbs
I currently have my housing painted yellow, but in the review they are clear housings, so you get a better idea of the yellow output
here you go

Exactly...you won't get the light like the Lexus because they aren't yellow bulbs. The yellow is an actual yellow projector/fog lens with white bulbs. Piaa and Catz are both overrated bulbs and don't last as long. I've seen many attempts to recreate the yellow of the lexus using Piaa bulbs, Ebay bulbs (give hardly any yellow), Using yellow tint to cover the clear lense etc. Nothing looks like them that I have seen.

So your best bet is to stick with a cheap set of yellow/gold fogs and call it a day. Unless you want to do a custom set-up using the actual Lexus projector yellow lens piece.

Also you might wanna check out Polarg. They just came out with bulbs called "Pure Yellow". They look to be your best bet yet. good luck

I'm using Narva Gold's in my high beams right now. The light is yellowish/gold. It's not as yellow as the lexus fogs but close enough and they are fairly cheap too. Here are some pics.

Actually, it looks like the Lexus lens are clear. Think Lexus has special bulbs? Hmm...

Hmmm...that is interesting. All the ones I have seen have a yellow lens behind that clear housing. They might have a yellow bulb. Call them and ask so you can find out for us all

I just bought some H3 Silverstars at Checker for my OEM fogs... they're bright as hell. I need to adjust my lights now because they're brighter than my damn headlights.

Resurrecting the thread. I want some Yellow H3's for my DA fogs, but what wattage should I use? All I can find are 55, 70, and even 100watt bulbs. I have 8k HID's in my headlights, and I don't want the fogs being so bright people think their my brights.

Any suggestions?
