oohpapi44 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Ok here's the question and yes I did search but no answer. Are the foglights that come with the 430 HID? If not then can anyone recommend a replacement bulb and is it simply a replacement operation of switching out the bulbs? I love the yellow look but would like to get some more light from the fogs without necessarily blinding O'L lady Hawthorne down the block...

melhadri Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I am not sure if they are HID's but I am certain the yellow light in the GS430 is produced b/c the housing of the fog's are tinted yellow. The actual bulb itself is probably white. You might have to replace the fog's in order to get a different look. Some of the guys/gals with a GS430 may be able to offer more insight. Personally, I love the yellow look and would recommend u keep them. If you are firm on getting rid of them, you should exchange your fogs with someone else. You shouldn't have a problem finding someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyTelefunken Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The fogs on all models are not HID they are halogen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what bulb can I put in there that won't burn anything but is going to give me a brighter yellow light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJLexusGS Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 This is what I did with my foglights. I bought a pair of GS430 foglights with the yellow lenses in them. I put in hyper white bulbs and it gave me a nice light yellow almost slightly greenigh tint to it. It looked awesome. They looked like the foglight color on the IS300. But after a while the yellow lense cracked and I lost the yellow in one of the fog lights. So I went back to the clear lense and just put in hyper white bulbs. The color matches the HID headlights but they are not as intense. The only thing I can think of to increase the intensity of the light is to get the clear foglights and put HIDs in them. I wouldnt recommend putting the HIDs in the yellow foglights because the yellow lenses will probably melt away. Personally I love the GS430 look with the yellow foglights and wouldnt change it if I had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
