Amber fogs?

I'm trying to go back to the amber fog light look that I had before, but nobody has those fogs in stock anymore.

Just wanted to hear any options out there besides doing the Lexus capsules.

Perhaps tint sprays / or amber fogs being sold, I know DecalFX sells the pre-cut tint film, but I have no use for the head light tint part

Thanks in advance

Re: Amber fogs?

Hey Nick. Do you mean amber or yellow? They are two different colors. Amber is what the GM cars have. A friend of mine has Nokya Hyper Yellow halogen bulbs. The color is pretty deep yellow.

Here's a pic I found from a quick search on Google:

They are relatively cheap bulbs.

they look nice but i'd be a lil' careful as they're known to get hot and melt the plastic housings in some cases

Re: Amber fogs?

first...its a fail because its for the 02-03...2nd a few of us on the big org went through the big ordeal to try to get the amber foglights but to no avail..see my sig, thats as far as we got...a LED sold by ebay that we purchased, didnt light up enough to help with the lighting...was more cosmetic and we couldnt find anyone who would sell HID amber..everytime we asked for amber, the ask if we meant yellow *smh*

to Stuntman...do you have a pic of them lit up?

Re: Amber fogs?

Thanks for the input guys, yea I'm looking for amber, that look exactly like the ones Stuntman ordered, but I had the same fogs and ordered them for $50.

Stuntman, are those glass or plastic lenses?

Phatboislim, why is it a fail?

Re: Amber fogs?

I recently ordered 3k HIDs from DDMtuning. Aside from taking forever to get here (2 weeks all in all) Im not so happy with the way they look. The bulbs are mismatched in color so Im sure thats why I dont like them. But, aside from that I dont know how I feel about the way they look. I had 6k in the fogs before and I feel like I was much happier, but thats just me...everyone has their own opinions.

Yeah, they look good in the evening and early morning when running the Nokya fogs and bright parking lights.

For parking lights, I use 2watt 5k LEDs from V-LED.

No idea. I just installed them. Maybe the fogs are different from 00-01 and 02-03. One thing I did notice after I took the pic is that my camera lens has oily fingerprints on it. My friends are known for doing that to my camera.

I will try to take another pic tonight to see if it's better.
