should be somewhat tough. but i think throwing an HID h4/h1 in there might increase the light output but i beleive the fogs section wouldn't stand the heat from the HID... then again, going HID in the fogs is custom

i had the luminics 3750K golden yellow H4 fogs and they increased output. I'd try the 2000K JDM yellow if that's your style. I have the 6000K pure blue now and the output is nowhere near the 3750K.

I would love to install yellow fogs on my black G if I had the time. I'm working on a plan to install fogs with lexus yellow caps but haven't had the time lately.

Follow the instructions from this DIY i did last week and it'll only take about 15 mins. to do each side.

Simply swapping bulbs most likely will never increase any useable output. Adding another set of lights might do the trick.

I never liked the appearance with the factory fogs on. I was thinking of adding a separate fog housing elsewhere.

C'mon, thats not custom. They're a factory accessory!

But seriously, the only way to make a marked increase in light output is two go for 2 sets of HIDs. If I have some time this weekend, I'll try to get some shots of a comparison between all the lights on and low beams on / fogs off.
