Makes the fog lights look terrible. I need to get some brighter bulbs down there.

No night shots yet I just put them on today. I will have to drive behind my wife to see if I need to adjust it. The driver side already looks a little high.

I got them in a group purchase on www.wcfords.com they were $170.00.

Yellow?, why yellow?

Because Yellow has been proven to cut through fog better than a white/blue light. It shows more contrast than the others because the fog is normally white or grey.

Or he could just mean for that ugly lexus look. :shrug:

fog lights were originally yellow because of the wavelength of the light. The yellow light wavelength does not react with the fog. Did you ever notice that if you have your headlights on in the fog and turn the brights on, it gets even worse to see. Cars that are sold with "Fog Lights" don't really have fog lights. They have extra headlights. I am not a big fan of yellow fog lights, don't think they look that cool but they work better if you drive in fog areas a lot.

get yellow because unless you get HID fogs any regular bulbs just won't match and it will look retarded, but with yellow it's a completely different color and creates a nice contrast

It's a screw facing down located on top of the light housing just left of center.

Nah, I just put some ultrawhite bulbs in the fogs on my C6 and it matches up to the HID's DAMN nice. I also have Sylvania SilverStars on the GN and they're pure white as well :)
