Fog light yellow Reflectors
my Fog lights have yellow Reflectors an i hate them, do any models of this car have normal silver 1's cause i bought some nice high brightness blue/white bulbs an all i get is brighter yellow. if not is there a way to modify the starndard 1's?? cheers in advance for any input. thanks

Re: Fog light yellow Reflectors
I just replaced mine with some small 100 watt driving lights. Bit of a fiddly job but well worth it I reckon. I used a long bolt and bolted the light horizontally back onto the inner guard and used some strap to support it back down onto where the fog bracket screwed down onto the lip. I found you have to remove the front lip to get the fogs out but then you can put the lip back on and install the driving lights at your leisure. I haven't got any pics yet - just did it on the weekend.

Re: Fog light yellow Reflectors
I tried to keep it in the stock lights too, even looked at mounting the new lights into the OEM housing, that would have been best so I could keep the shroud and brackets, etc.
In the end I just gave up and removed the fogs and brackets completely. I'll take some pics and you can see how mine turned out.

This one is looking up from under the car, front of the car to the right. Thats the spotlight bracket with a 1/4" bolt going back to the frame. You can see where the strap goes down onto the lip where the OEM bracket screwed on.

I think they look a lot cleaner and neater than the fogs - next I'll need some new indicator / parker lights!

I just took my fogs apart and smashed the yellow lens inside of 'em, they look chrome inside now.(but i don't recommend this)
