So I've been doing alot of research lately and I've come to a point where people like these

PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow and the Hoen Endurance Yellow Fog Lights

what I am mainly looking for is usability in the fog. I want one that is great for fog and also gives the nice deep yellow. Hopefully I can get some input from you guys!

This is what I am currently running on my BRZ. These are yellow led fog light kit. Plug and play onto stock fog housing setup.

Don't exist for the factory setup. Have to change the housings. Wiring likely isn't designed to handle 55w either.

I went with LED assemblies from The Retrofit Source with yellow tint (though I may take it off in the future)

take a look at Optilux 3000K yellow bulbs..they give off a better yellow color than the Nokyas

Just a quick question, I have a fog light that's out (likely bulb) if I remove the liner in the front wheel well and turn the wheels shouldn't that give me ample access to the light?

I've watched a few videos of people removing the bumper to take on / off fog lights but that seems like overkill for my case, no?

that's how i do it..turn the wheel and pull back the wheel liner

i only remove two of the three plastic rivets because the bottom most one is stripped on both sides on my car and i still have enough room to shove my hand in there

to get the most room to work with here are the pop in rivets i suggest you remove

HIDs are a bit unnecessary for fog lights IMO, but they will produce the most lumen output overall.

LEDs are better suited for auxiliary locations like fog lights. A quality LED replacement will produce plenty of usable output for that location, without having to add ballasts or an HID relay harness.

Awesome thanks, I'm going to give it a go this weekend once I figure out what bulb I need.
