steviej Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 The bulb is a 55w H3 bulb. There are several aftermarket bulbs that come in colors for this set up. Recently, on ebay, I have seen purple and green as the hot movers. I have to wonder if they are strictly for show as I do not see any functionality for these colors. I switched out my stock fog bulbs for the PIAA Ion Crystals. These give off a yellow color which can be helpful in fog and recently as I found out, snow. These were about $30/bulb. The GS actually has a yellow glass in the housing to give it the intense yellow color. The PIAA ion crystal is yellow but does not compare to the GS' yellow color. I don't know the IS housing stucture but I would assume that it is similar to the GS in that the yellow comes from the glass and not the bulb.

Lex3486 Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I'm almost 100% positive I've seen yellow H3 replacement fog light bulbs; Many cars (1st gen. LS400 in fact) have yellow fog lights but clear lenses, so I know that they're out there. I'm thinkin I saw em at Wal-Mart (?). Shouldn't be too hard to find, and they'd be almost identical if not exactly a match to the color you're lookin for. I'm just glad my 93 has stock yellow fogs!
