Anyone ever retro-fit lexus yellow capsules?

dirtyylicous · 06-30-2009, 09:35 PM

Hey, i think "yellow" fogs look great and been looking at diff bulbs and hid kits that are out and none really has the deep yellow color that my is300 has. I found out that its not the bulb that gives the color but lexus uses capsules. Has anyone succesfully retro-fitted these onto an e92?

Capsules

Do you happen to have any good pics of them?

Out of replacement bulbs i agree that nokyas are the most yellow
and it would be inexpensive but i would love to replicate the lexus yellow.

+1 on the pics. do you also have a link to where you purchased them?

iheartsole · 06-30-2009, 11:31 PM

my bro had luminics on his 4runner & that thing was yellow

Amir87 · 07-01-2009, 12:49 AM

Sorry don't have any pics. I know for a fact they are nice and yellow like the IS300, but not 100% match.

Got them from Ebay.

I got mine from www.e92-lighting.com
H8 2500k

i agree, i am really feeling the jdm yellow fever!

The Lexus yellow caps won't fit in the E92 foglight housing without modifying the housing (cutting it), and fitting over the H8 bulb won't clear that much so the heat will melt or warp the yellow caps.

I played around with it when I first picked up the E92, since I have a ton of the Lexus yellow caps (they work in Audi foglights and lots of Honda/Toyota/Nissan cars).

pdjafari · 07-01-2009, 04:28 PM

Rather than do all that, get yourself some 3k HID Fogs and call it a day. No color will match the 3k HID fogs IMHO....

Thanks for telling me man. That sucks tho, they seem to give the best color output. O well.

mtec hid kit in 3k jdm yellow is a great viable option

3000K HIDs is still too bland looking, and not a true golden yellow. I had some before and I switched out to a "golden" 2000K cheap HID kit and it's been working great for the past 9 months now (no codes). Looks just like the JGTC/GTP cars.

E92-Lighting · 07-02-2009, 09:02 PM

for the lexus look, nokya bulbs are the best matching, thats for sure

ultimate · 11-02-2009, 08:29 PM

how about the luminics?
