Im looking to buy yellow fog lights with the kit. Any suggestion what brand is good? Also anyone would be able to help me putting it on or should I bring it to a shop somewhere in SJ.

it really depends how much you want to spend. At the time i got some winjets for around 65$ but now one of the housings is cracked but its a easy fix. People would easily sell one for around 20$ I chose winjet because it came with a button switch. You can always go the cleaner route and buy the whole stalk and wire it to that. The whole install should take about 2 hours at most if you know what you're doing. Mostly just taking things apart and wiring. It's mostly plug and play really, ground the black wire, and connect the red wire. Than connect the button wire to a power source, connect them all together and you're good to go. the whole harness that most companies give you is pretty messy unless you know how to wire.

both josh and i have the dealer option foglights on our cars.

I know alot of people actually run the winjet or diode dynamic kit. The thing to note about the winjet kit for atleast trying to run yellow, is that winjets use yellow lens over yellow bulbs, which is a very cheap option vs paying 40-90$ for a yellow H11 bulb set.

With the yellow winjet housing and 3k h11 bulbs .

If the yellow is just a cosmetic thing then the yellow housing is fine , if you want the output to be really yellow you should upgrade bulbs as well .

If you want fog lights that actually do something besides look pretty, check out the OLM bixenon Low/High fog light kit.

http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/olm-...l#.VoOUPvH0TIo

We have them on our FRS and BRZ with the yellow 3000k HID bulbs, and they are phenomenal. Uses a shutter system like stock HID headlights to keep the light output down low on low-beam, then opens up to assist when you switch on high beams. Very noticeable increase in visibility.
