to achieve this look, you will need either nokya yellow halogen bulbs in glass housing or HID 3000k 35w w/ yellow vinyl on glass housing. The 3000k 35w HID kit should be ok in plastic housing but if you add the yellow transparent vinyl, you WILL need glass housings.

the 3000k HID alone will look both pure white and yellow at different angles so i would highly recommend using the vinyl to give it a true yellow look. Try to cut the vinyl about 3-4mm smaller than the foglight lense. This will allow heat to transfer through the glass faster and bypass the vinyl. I have this set-up on my 2011 civic si and it looks amazing!!! It looks green when the hid's first fire up too!

Where's the best place to get the bezels? From this site or through Nigel?
Reason I ask is with Nigel it's says they're available for pre-order, so I'm not sure if that means they are not available yet. I'd like to get them as soon as I can, hopefully before my body kit arrives.

Nigel does not keep these in stock. He places a order with his Toyota supplier in Japan ever so often for items that he has presold. It takes a little while for the items to get to him here in the US. Then Nigel ships the items out.
I have used him before and these I currently have these bezels and wiring harness on order from him.

yea thanks. vinyl should look amazing but i want it to keep it clear glass on the day time, i just want yellow fogs when light up. i'd go for the nokya bulbs then.
