OEM Fog Lights
 
Does anybody know where can i find a yellow light bulb for the OEM Rx7 fog lights?
I went to pepboys but they didnt have the double prong bulb at all.

younG_Gunner 12-14-13 11:11 PM

Online. I can't even remember the last time stores carried H3C bulbs

Papa Doc 12-14-13 11:18 PM

There H3C'S? when i went the guy told me they h3somethings.
Anyways thanks for the info man.

If you want to make your USDM fogs identical to JDM fogs, the proper way to do it is to install the yellow filter over the standard clear bulb. Search for "lexus yellow capsules" and you'll find what you need. I just converted a set of my own.

RotaryResurrection 12-14-13 11:59 PM

Here is what I bought. They are a direct swap into the stock s5 fogs. You have to reuse your original bulb in this housing. Lexus JDM Yellow Capsules Retrofit Fog Light H3C H3 HID Bulbs Toyota Supra Mkiii | eBay

Papa Doc 12-15-13 12:24 AM

Well i found some yellow lights online but do the covers fit on the oem lights

JerryLH3 12-15-13 09:44 AM

He said it was a direct swap. I would imagine they go over the stock bulbs and you're done.

I know that im just wondering if they fit into the light cover. The hole is pretty tiny

I just like to confirm information before i tell someone else. I dont know if your trustworthy.

jjwalker 12-15-13 08:30 PM

RotaryResurrection has been around a long time and knows his stuff, so be glad he is willing to help you.

I couldn't find the right bulbs for mine either, but you can rewire the socket. You can use regular H3 bulbs and just ground the socket.

Tui 12-15-13 08:42 PM

Upgrade to a 3000k HID kit. Cut off is the same, you get the yellow lights you are wanting, and you get a much stronger light to pierce fog when you actually need them.

Yellow bulbs fade. Yellow capsules do not. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

My bad i just wanted to elaborate my reason or purpose for this post (^ω^)

JustJeff 12-16-13 08:29 PM

For the record, JDM fog lights do not have a yellow bulb in them. The yellow they illuminate comes from the reflective material at the back of the lens, not the bulb. I cleaned up mine before installing them.

Without them illuminated you can barely see the yellow on the back of the lens unless you hold them at the right angle. You can barely see it on the right side of the lens.

With them illuminated you can see the white/clear bulb shining in the center and outside the bulb the yellow is reflecting out.

Putting yellow covers over the bulbs will make them yellow, but I imagine a much more striking yellow than the JDM ones actually are. The yellow is very subtle and to be honest if I had the money I wouldn't pay what they are going for. But I got mine for awfully cheap so no regrets from me.

Wouldn't pay that much either. Where did you get you fog lights?

IIRC I got them from a forum member who was parting out a front clip. I think I paid $65 shipped. They were pretty rough when I bought them, but I was able to clean up most all of the swirl marks. They look newer than my headlights once I got them cleaned up.

You can put caps over USDM bulbs and make them yellow, but doing that doesn't make them identical to JDM...if that matters to you.

For the record, here is a set of OEM JDM fogs taken apart with pics posted of the OEM yellow capsules.

Don't know him so i don't trust him. He could be lying for all i know. ☻

Papa Doc 12-18-13 12:33 AM

What does any of this JDM shit matter. i asked for yellow bulbs. Not yellow Lexus caps or jdm fog lights.

Google will be your best friend, type in yellow bulbs and the bulb code and you should easily find a pair.

Then don't waste money on the fog lights, you'd get more illumination from a jar of fireflies.

Those have replacement bulbs put in them. The lens itself may or may not have the yellow reflective on them. JDM foglights are not nearly as bright yellow as the ones in the link.

But it's all small details that may or may not matter to people.

The magic that is conversation will have related topics come into the dialogue so that you might educate yourself. Things like, how to make your bulbs yellow, how you can save money by converting to another type of bulb, and other related topics to how you can help yourself in making a yellow foglight for yourself. Disregard the help and education, feel free to spend more rather than save money.
