Yes. They are 3000k hid's. It's cool how they light up, at night they shine white/yellow if you stand 20ft in front of the car, almost same color as regular halogens, but on the road/floor really yellow and at day yellow/green kinda when you look at them.
I can get night time pics if requested.

wow! pretty intense! I should convert my Fogs to HIDs....even though they're from a Lexus ES300, they're projectors so they might look even better. But mine already have a yellow lense on them so I think i'll be okay w/ a regular HID kit, instead of going 3K.

geting them ready for install, polished lens on the right side. Thanks to Type-G for his tricks

Bouth of them polished

what's his trick? mine could use a buffing or something because theres minerals on the outside of the lens.

I am going to be doing this to my fogs soon...how did you separate the lenses from the housing, did you just use a heat gun??

Yeah you would need then oem 4300k hids, but then I dont see why not try 3000k can't have too much yellow

1. wet sanding with 800 grid till you see there are no more oxidation and rock chips, mine had lots of them so I used power sander and it went fast!!!
2. wet sanding with 2000 grid to prep for polishing.
3. plastic polisher, cuting polishind pad, and power srewdriver with with becking plate for polishing pads.

with all power tolls it took me 5min to do each!!!

oven 250f for 5 min. but heat gun will work as well.

Great clean up.

[busak87]

How did you take off those black things inside the reflector (circled red in pic), they are rivetted on my fogs, im debating if I should just paint over them or are the supposed to be black??

[keycb7]

No need them, just grind head off them and trash'em.

will let you paint better behind it, if you painting that reflector!!!

[busak87]

Really?! I dont need them? what are they there for then? is there more light output without them? are the fogs brigther??

I think so your not blindign ppl and also it might be that ppl can see your turn signal better, I haven't check how they work with them but they sure will shine brighter
