Es300 Fogs - Few Q's And Decisions !

BoaR · October 2, 2008

'95 es300 before we begin ;)

ok so I've swapped out the standard low beams with some ultra whites. They look great and totally give the car a really nice look. (I could have went HID but meh.... not ready for that just yet other more important things to mod the car with)

I was playing around with the fogs yesterday and realised they look like crap haha! compared to the new lights ugh... icky looks. not cool

I did some checking, and its H3's you need for the car. bon! factory are white, but I know my friends has yellow on his 92..

I really cant decide if I should get a yellow or white kit ! It's mainly for looks, as up here in the great white north we have almost no fog... it happens like once every 3 years we see fog for a hour or so. hehe

So I guess the real question is what you guys think will look best on the car? whites? yellows? another color maybe?? also if they are any weird random things that I should know about while swapping the fogs out.

Thanks in advance !

I'm not sure what part of the great white north you are from, but the part I'm from has plenty of fog...maybe cuz we're close to the water (as in Pacific Ocean) here. :P

Anyways, as far as the colour goes, I prefer the look of yellow over white. It provides more contrast to the headlights, but I guess I could be a bit biased on the subject since mine came with yellow fogs. :rolleyes:

hehe you are over in vancouver no ? I guess closer to the coastline I would have to revise my statement, as there would be mixing air over the mainland.

I'm across the flatlands in montreal ^_^ It's all city here heh. we really never have any fog.

you think yellow would be nicer with ultra whites? you have a HID kit, and if they are 4.3k's then I know waht they look like. nice lights, are your fogs the factory yellows? or did you swap in some brighter ones?

Thanks for the tips ;)

I have 4300k HIDs which are mostly white with a slight blueish tint. I think the contrasting yellow fogs (yes, they are the round factory ones) really look cool. I just replaced the bulbs in the fogs last week and cleaned up the lenses so they are brighter than they used to be. One thing I'd like to do soon too is wet-sand the outer plastic lenses as they have become quite pitted from years of tiny rock hits. That would increase their brightness even more.

Here's a couple older pix:

P.S. My sister used to live in Montreal. It's a beautiful city.

hmm thanks for the pics and info !

I can say the same for vancouver hehe, my cousin lives there and its a wonderful city!

I guess I'm going to go yellow then for the contrast, I'll look into some H3 ultra brights for the car. They aren't hard to swap out ?? Imma need to find my manual again :lol: !
