    I searched, but I cannot find anyone talking about an upgrade to the factory LED fogs. Sure, upgrades to get to LED fogs have discussions everywhere. The factory LED lights are nice, but the fogs are very “factory” in output (lumens).
    I just want some yellow options, bright ones, without pulling the factory lens out. In other words, bulb replacement!

    kill this post by sending me to the right one that already exists please, or please help!

    Thanks!!

    The factory LED fogs don't have bulbs that sre replaceable. They'll be LED chip(s) that are soldered to a mcpcb. Not exactly "replaceable" unless you're handy with a hot air soldering station. There *are* some Yellow LEDs on the market, but I doubt they're compatible with the existing pcb and, more importantly, optic lens.

    You could try to filter the high color temp cold white LEDs tona shade of yellow, but you're going to have significant filtration losses. And you are still not likely to end up with "yellow," more "greenish-yellow" which is hard on the eyes and clearly/distinctively not a legal color.

    Factory LED fog review here: Toyota LED fogs

    There is no appropriate way to make these OEM fog yellow. If you go OEM it will be 6000k white. For yellow fogs, look at Diode Dynamics SS3 in selective yellow. Very soon they are coming out with an OEM style option that is promised to be higher output than OEM while also offering a selective yellow option.
