I've never tried as I like the yellow lights...but are they like the side lights up higher? If so, 99QX4 make hers white. Perhaps the same would work for you.

the fog lights have a round yellow lense inside. just look at it, its obvious. I once wanted to do the same thing, found out that Nissan chose yellow as it has the best rain/fog properties. Making it white might cause some unwanted glare, esp. in fog, snow, and rain. It's a powerful H3 bulb inside. I decided to leave it yellow, like Nissan researchers wanted it to be!

Welcome to NICO!!Yeah, what was said is true... But you might possibly be able to butcher the housing and mount some Hella Micro DE fogs in there -- they're OEM equipment on several vehicles, but can be purchased separately. Notice them on 98+ 4Runner -- same exact thing you can buy.

But I much prefer the yellow fogs... Just have to figure out how I managed to melt one of them.

I have thought of changing it as well...replacing the yellow lense with a clear one. Knowing me and my clear corners i'm sure i can do it...but i decided to leave it as well, i think i kinda like it.

I like it. QX4s are the only ones with those lights and they sure do stand out.

Wellt hose new stupid 4runners are out and about with factory independently controlled yellow fogs, but the QX4 looks way better and at only 1/5th of the cost

I always liked the yellow on the QX because it reminds me of the zenki (95-96) s14 240sx. . Sort of an SUV version of that.

I guess.

Anyway, I need to probabaly replace one of mine. . haha. . ugh. .
