Where to find JDM foglights

I tried to search for it, but after looking around for a while i couldnt find anything. I was just wondering where you guys buy all of your JDM lights and other accessories? Are there any good websites you can think of off hand? Also, I know its kind of off topic, but is there any performance increase to swapping out the AUX port sleves like the ones that i believe Pineapple racing sells, and also what RPM do they open exactly on my 91 Vert? Thanks for your guys help.

I thought the S5 fog lights were the same as the JDM ones except the JDM ones had a Yellow bulb. I purchased yellow bulbs for 6 bucks each.

Ive seen some though that are for an S5 that have a yellow lense inside of them. Do you guys know about if the Pineapple Aux port inserts really add 8hp like they say?

I didn't realize they had yellow lenses... Figured it was just a yellow bulb. Soon as I get my yellow bulbs in place, I'll take pics.

I honestly doubt the Pineapple inserts will gain you 8hp... maybe 4....... Anybody trying to get more HP out of their sleeves should get them if they don't want to remove the sleeves... Otherwise, yank those bitches out all together. And if you are REALLY serious about power, you'll get large ports and you won't need your 6pi crap.

but for driveability, the inserts are probably a good idea. but, IMO, 8hp is an ambitious number.

Yea I haven't really heard much about them. I wanna try and keep my Vert mostly stock since it only has 48K Orig miles on it. I really like having the low end power that the aux ports allow you to keep though.

There is no such thing as "JDM" fog lights. All stock S5 fog lights were the same except on the very rare Infini models which had yellow lenses (not yellow bulbs).

I dunno why anyone would want ugly yellow lights...

Ugly? Perhaps.... but, the yellow light helps cut through the dense fog... And since fog is my number 1 most hated driving condition, I wanted the best advantage.

i had the yellow infini fog lights, i got them on ebay they were really nice. the yellow diffuser gave them the nicest color and really help at night in the rain. yellow bulbs in stock fog light housings will look like ****, probly like an old light with the yellowish ting to it but not a true yellow.
i sold them not to long ago to some one, but i dont rember who.

When they do open though, id really like it to scream. Thats why the inserts were appealing to me and why i dont like the idea of wiring them open like some people say. Im not going to be doing anything to extreme to the motor at this point, so id like to keep the low end driveability.

Good to know, thanks for the Info. To be honest, I just kinda like the look of the yellow fogs at night. During the day, not so much. So i guess the question would be where to find some Infini Fogs? I have tried looking around on ebay, and i should have bought the set that some one was selling on here a little while ago. Does anyone happen to have a pic of the fog lights installed? Either that or maybe some pictures of regular ones with the yellow bulbs would help a lot too. Thanks

I just bought a set of Hella H3 bulbs.... I haven't got them installed yet, but I'll take pics as soon as I do.

Those PIAA's look good! Not as yellow as the Infini ones with the lenses, but definately look good.

They are dirt cheap too. Maybe I'll retro fit my extra set of fog lights (not on car) with them and get some pics.

Translation:

jones - "I enjoy the appearance of yellow fog lights on vehicles that are the following colors: white, black, blue and silver

...then
Ronin - "I concur! I was considering yellow fog lights for my vehicle because it is in fact blue.
