I really wanted my fog lights to be yellow. I've been eyeballing this idea for a while. I've seen good results with these capsules that can't be matched with any yellow bulbs out there, the only thing close is a PIAA ion crystal bubls and those are 80 bucks and they also burn out in about a year.
From what I understand, these are what needs to be done

-remove fog light housing
-bake them in oven aroun 200-250 for about 10mins
-gently pry the seal between black housing and lens
-install capsules
-reseal housing with hi temp seal and put them back together

has anyone here done this yet?

I removed the fog lights, covered them with yellow 3M film and also installed yellow bulbs. I too love the way the HID's look with yellow fogs.

That's quite nice. I hope that the sharpie ink lasts. Personally, I would love to install HIDs in the fogs if someone who has done it successully can recommend a kit and mounting instructions.
