Why not just change the bulbs? They're only standard headlamp bulbs.

i am assuming the OP means HID foglights?? well i suppose if you want to fit an aftermarket kit then it should be possible, just check the bulb fits in the housing ok.

yes its possible, ive got HID fogs on mine :D just get a HID kit with the bulb size of 9006.

Looks pretty good :D just a shame its a bit pointless unless its fogy alot in your area or unless of course your one of those poeple who drive with them on regardless... :tsktsk:

i always thought that fog light bulbs are meant to have a more yellow tint to them due to dispersive effects in foggy weather of the light emitted.....so on that note....you should maybe think about 4000k HID's?

had some serious fog not too long ago, the new HID fogs are 6000K and cut through the fog like a knife through butter

When I tried them it made it harder to see, the fog just became whiter, like it does when you put your main beam on

thats wat i mean lee.....white light is more dispersive in fog than yellow....therefore you get an increased white haze

No no dude, i was in no way branding you a moron! :D Does look good. Id like to get my bulbs to match my HIDs to.

are the fog light's bulb the same as dipped light?

cos i am getting few sets of philips HID in and it would be nice if its the same fitment.

At least they are on my 2000 model.

i will double check, mine is 2005 model

i will double check, mine is 2005 model

Thought the newer IS's had HIDs anyway...guess not :P

[Mr Singh]

They are useful...to signal to other brain dead tw@ts on the road..."Look at me...its not foggy,see...I have foglights and sidelights on...my car is a higher spec than yours and looks lower".

I have no pity for police man pulling people over... for incorrect use. Hell they should take a sledghammer to them..

I have never in 3yrs of owning my car had to use them...

nope. they don't have HID.. i was expecting them having HID thou! lol

however, it have sat nav as standard so i guess that makes me feel better abit

thats why i am getting some decent HIDs in and thinking of putting them on the fog light too!

[Mr Morse]

None of the IS models ever had HID's in the fogs as standard. Only the IS300 ever had HID's as standard for the main beam, not the fogs.

As has been previously mentioned, fitting HID's in the fogs kinda detracts from the fact that fogs are specific to foggy conditions....

i didn't mean the fog lights on the IS are HID as standard, i was referring to the dipped light.

yes, i understand that fitting HID at 6000K or above for fog lights could result in even worse visual condition when its in a foggy night. so i am looking at those low buring level HIDs that will show in bright yellow but strong light output for more visual.
