chins Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Hello all, I have a 2008 IS 250 with HID Xenon Adaptive head Lamps. I want to match my fog lamps with the head lamps. Is there a way to change the color of the fog lamp bulbs to white without adding a ballast by just changing the fog lamp bulb to white color one? if yes, pls let me know what bulb and kelvin temperature (color) to buy? Thanks a lot!!! ~Chins
NicLX470 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Most if not all OEM HID systems use 4300K, which is equivalent to natural sunlight. The higher the temp the bluer the color will get. But with less light output. If you get any higher than say, 10-12k you will get purple. Phillips makes a halogen bulb named "crystalvision" that states will match factory HID kits but I have never seen them. http://www.lighting.philips.com/us_en/auto...ive〈=en

NicLX470 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks!!! Can you please tell me the exact website where I can purchase the bulbs. Ebay is correct. Type something like, Phillips Crystal Vision 4300k I am currently looking for some really yellow ones like from the last generation IS.

Much easier and better looking than bulbs IMHO. I have the GT Yellow. http://www.headlightarmor.com/06-10-lexus-...ection-kit.aspx
Volleyball Mom Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 My husband installed an HID kit into my fog lamps. Matches headlights and improved the area directly in front of the car. 4300K 9006 HID Conversion Kit $80.
