Good luck, Wolfeee. I'm looking to upgrade my bulbs or do a laminate as soon as my lil' Cabrio gets here. I want the yellow bulbs.

It would be cool to have the running lights in Yellow

I'm running stock (yellowish white) running lights right now. My plan is to get yellow ones, but you can't really tell at all. The fog's color just over powers the tiny little 194 wedge bulbs.

I just got a set of yellow parking light bulbs a while back and threw them in, so I have both yellow fogs and parking lamps, and it looks pretty darn good IMO, a cheap set of the 194's was like 4-5 bucks on eBay and they haven't burned out yet.

Nice look wolfee. To turn on the fog lights without the headlights... are you just turning on the parking lights? I love the look of just the yellow fog lights I'm glad you were able to get them installed. thanks for the picture!

Will..this whole thread is devoted to changing the bulbs... On my clubby..I was having problems until I realized that there were 2 pressure points on the clips that needed to be squeezed and then unplugged...then I could remove the foglights... the manual did not say anything about these pressure points...once you unplug them..they were so easy to get out...

do you need to get the upgraded heavy duty wiring harness when you buy nokya yellow bulbs? most sites that sell them advertise that it is recomended.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't this one stupid bulb out. I unplugged the wire and was fine for the fog light on the driver side. Fairly simple. The passenger side is impossible! And I'm sure to press on both release points too. On 2 separate attempts, I can't get the cable to dislodge so I can get the bulb out. Blisters too! So now, my Mini is running with one yellow fog light and a regular stock lightbulb. Very frustrating...

OH NO!!! Be patient, be gentle, take a deep breath...and try again... I put on a latex glove to get a better grip on the bulb..but I know how you feel...good luck!

This is my little creation. I tinted my fogs yellow and installed a 5000K HID kit. Unfortunately the picture doesn't do it justice due to it's brightness. Although you can see how bright and vibrant it is. I couldn't be happier, especially during bad weather.

I love those yellow fogs, but have to note that MINI headlights look crosseyed when lit.

Hmm....why tint the fog lense when you could just run the proper temp range for yellow wavelength (2500-3200)? It'd be more effective and the performance would be improved.
