I put some super white ones or whatever in mine. They look like ****.

I'm probably going to go with some yellow ones as soon as get off my *** an order them. Just too much stuff going on.

Do a search for 3400k Fogs or 3000k fogs etc Yellow fogs maybe, ya know

I got HID in fog lights which is awesome. Yes it is bright but it looks sexy during night time

I put 3000K Halogen bulbs in my fog lights. I did that to retain the high beam function. Dark woods plus 3000K high beams = can see the deer you are about to run over.


My fog lights stay off 99% of the time anyway. Personally, the contrast of yellow + the white HID doesn't look that appealing to me in a combined headlight assembly. Now if the fog lights were low in the bumper like a Lexus, then i would like it.

SO i turn my fogs on ONLY in the rain and snow and fog. 3000K makes a HUGE difference.

The color difference wouldn't really matter you could just swap them out for similar looking bulbs. Depends what the stock kelvin rating is in a RX.

I have been considering doing HID fogs which I will probably do when I do projector retro, but I have city lights in my 03 so I just change that to an LED and it matches my HIDs.

Factory HID's are 4300K as an FYI. That's usually what most OEM's are.
