IS350blma Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hi there, I've been reading the forum since I first bought my 07 350 back in Dec06 but somehow I never come across any info regarding matching the existing oem fog light in yellowish color with the white HID headlights. I saw some IS250/350 out there w matching headlight and fog lights and they look sooooooo much better than oem. I asked my dealer service manager and was told that Lexus don't offer white color light bulbs for the fog lights and wouldn't suggest any specific brand for replacement. Can anybody share some insights regarding if the aftermarket light (for example PIAA) would do the job, are they better and would they meet oem specifications etc? Thanks ahead for any help!

Mike2006 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 In a related question, I have been wanting to swap out my day-time running lights with a whiter light. Anybody know if any of those bulbs from Hoen are a match? If so, what model? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another question to raise is : ARE the aftermarket bulbs so inferior to Lexus OEM equipment that other IS owners don't want to switch?

bartkat Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The DRL's are the high beam bulbs running on low power so it may be hard to get a white look. They can be disabled by the dealer though. You can change the parking light bulbs though. http://my.is/forums/f126/just-got-these-pa...-lights-289476/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
