Can't tell in these photos but I put in the hella yellow h3s off of Amazon, they look way better in person. Also cleaned up my lenses.
Going through those reviews, it sounds like these bulbs have a 100 hour life span so may not last long if you always keep them on.
My buddy tented his lenses yellow so that may be the way to go.

Digging that license plate! I'm headed to New Mexico for an elk hunt in a month.

Planning a solo hunt myself to CO in a month.
Over the last 2 years I've been experimenting with yellow/3k bulbs. Started with Nokya + Hella H3's, both sets "bubbled" and failed. Ended up going to set 1 of LED Amazon yellow h3's - solid performance, but they ultimately failed and seemed to run very hot. I finally swapped to an H3 35w 3K HID set, great output and they seem to maintain their cutoff very well.

This is so good. Ok, so question, for the side break light...how in the heck do you get to that bulb? I don't see access to in through the hood.
As in the corner lights next to the headlights? I believe you have to take them out entirely IIRC, there's a screw at the top of them you need to undo, then a clip on the headlight side of them towards the bottom that clips into the headlight housing - then they should pull out. Easier said than done unfortunately. I replaced mine with no-name amber LED bulbs and they've had no issues over 3 years now.

Right on. I'll give it a shot later today. Thanks!
Good to know, any photos of how you mounted your HID balast and wiring? plug and play with the H3 wiring or did you have to drill a hole in the back of the dust cover? IMO HIDs are the best output for the money at the moment, you really need to spend big on LEDs to get comparable lumen output.

Mediocre picture, but drilled into the dust cap. I wanted to maintain the OEM wiring since I figured the dust cap was the easiest thing to replace if I wanted to revert this a bit. The ballast is mounted in the bumper above the fog light (you can barely see it here), used silicone glue to hold it there - again because I wanted to be able to remove it without much of a trace after.
not a lame question at all. i've just purchase an 06 LC, and i'm wanting to upgrade to the gnarliest zenon/HID or LED 3000K fog lights i can fit in the original bumper housings. even if the new elements require some additional co-located drivers.Hey guys,
I've just bought my 1st 100 series, LX470. Wanting to remove the OEM fog light bulb and put in an amber/yellow upgraded bulb. I've searched and searched and just not seeing something that definitely feels like it is what I want. Lame question, I know...but super grateful for anyone who has done this and can share which bulb you bought. This was uper easy to find for my FJ

Thought I'd follow up, that link goes to the 6K fogs. Apparently they pulled the highest power 3K fogs from the market.
I can highly recommend the Evolution the Micro Evolution fogs from VLED. The specs speak for themselves. I got the 6K to match my new projector headlights/halos. I have no idea why everyone thinks fogs have to be yellow? Sure, contrast, bla bla, bla.
You do have to protect the light housing fan from wheel throw-off, but I engineered an easy DIY solution. Use a Penta brand, 1 liter bottle (the straight version). Cut off 4" of the bottle end. Use a 2" hole saw to cut a breather hole, and then double wrap 2 duct tape loops over that. The beautiful thing is the Penta bottle is a thick wall plastic, and exactly the right size for a friction fit to the large gasket around the OEM fog connector - I tried a million different plastic bottles. If you put a little dish soap on the rubber gasket, the Penta bottle will just barely twist over. Pretty dope, and never coming off! Now the Micro Evolutions can both breath, and have their little micro cooling fans protected! Laugh at my McGeyvor fix, but my fogs will be brighter than yours!

Doing well after 10k miles. The amz ones i bought dont have a fan, just a heatsink. Multiple 1200k trips driving all night, no issues or no flickering after non stop use. Only complaint is that light output is stock or alittle bit better. When the amber is on, you can see the hue on the pavement. If your looking for light output id look at something higher quality. These are great if you just looking for a stock replacement with some amber once in a while.

Funny thing is I ended up buying the same pair. This is a silly question but did you only plug on the red spade connector? I have no clue why my lights wont turn on...
Edit: the second spade connector (oddly for an h3 looks to be the ground). When I touched the metal clip the light turned on so I'm assuming the circuit wasn't complete.
You're right about the output. Looks great but I'm debating on keeping them myself now.

Hey @BenCC any updates for the LX fog like the LC above?The Baja Designs Squadron lights seem a very popular choice. I just made a pair for the lights for LC. I am still figuring out how to develop a set for LX.
Thanks!
