Can you get any different bulbs for those fog lights? Something whiter? Or is that how they are? Btw, are those the IS300 lights that I saw someone fit earlier?

I wouldn't do that for a louder system for ventilation purposes, you're just asking for a new amp.

yea you can get whiter bulbs for them. but you would have to get the jdm is300 foglights because the projector is clear. and depending on what year it is. the housing is different. 01-02 i think is H3and the newer ones 03-05 is 9006(i could be wrong).

i think shauntc/shaun_tc had a how-to on this

bought the fogs on is300.net for about $110. (dont pay over 150 for them)

with 6000k hids

Why would you want white fog lights? Fog lights are there to improve your vision in bad weather. Yellow light is the best for vision in snow & rain.

truthfully. i cant even see the beam of my fogs unless i step out of the car because i didnt flip the cut off point of the projectors. but who needs them when you have hid's lol =)

is300 fogs are just for show so when you drive at night people think you're driving a LEXUS!

so how do you keep the amp cool? I mounted my JL 500/5 their and closed the lid and after driving around for awhile and pushing it, I checked it and it was literally to hot to touch, so now I have to keep that hatch open

i mounted both amps to a 20" x 16" board. if you look closely on the top of each amp i raised it 3". so its at a slope. my 500/1 rarely gets hot. its the 300/4 that gets hot. and when cruise around thumpin i put the one seater down for more airflow. also the i have the ported box pointin at that amp. i'll take a picture later
