Clear Fog lights / Replacement clear lenses ?

One of the things that bothers me about all cars is the yellow color of fog lights. I know they server a purpose as the yellow helps cut through the fog better than regular bulbs, but I think it does not look good. I am willing to sacrifice function for look.

Does anyone know if there are clear lenses available yet to replace the yellow fog light lenses for the Countryman? If not, are fog lights from other MINIs interchangeable?

Thanks,

Eric

It's not the lenses it's the bulbs. They also aren't any speacial yellow, or actually yellow at all (in the bulb color sense) just your typical halogen that looks very yellow compared to xenons. Plenty of very white xenon match halogen bulbs out there (PIAA, silverstars, hoens), or you could also do LEDs.

Thanks, I thought it was the the color of the lens. I have a 2007 Mazda 6 and I went to replace the fog bulbs with clear bulbs. It turned out that it was the actual lens that was yellow. That is why thought the lends was also yellow on the Mini also.
