Default just got oem fogs for my 94-97 dc2...had some questions

i just got some oem foglights for my 94-97 integra...they are the clear ones which i am assuming is USDM and that the yellow ones are JDM...i wanna put yellow bulbs in mine...i read the appearance thread on the piaa's vs. plasma's...are the piaa's the best ones overall??and if i spray my fogs transparent yellow...will the heat eventually discolor the yellow paint?thanks for the help

You could have bought the amber color fogs new from Pilot. The lense is a blue color which emits a yellow beam.

If I was you I would get yellow bulbs, I don't think spray painting the lense will do much to give it the gold/yellow light you are looking for

YUCK! I had them cheap Pilot BS and they are not pure yellow like the JDM ones. Get the PIAA yellow bulbs! They're brighter and more crisp looking yellow like the ones you see on Lexus IS300. Don't paint bulbs...they won't be the same.

Thanks for the input, I guess I'll be saving money and getting the ones off ebay then.

Not true. I actually have one set of clear fog lights from a JDM DC2 Si-VTEC bumper. I induced 12V to make sure.... don't know if they're worth anything but they do make the JDM foglights in clear and yellow (sorry, all of the yellow ones that I had were sold with the bumpers, just incase some of you PM me). I don't even think (but then I really never looked into it) that the US Integras had that factory option, but if they did there sure wasn't many of them installed.
