Your fog lights are in the same housing as the parking (city) lights. If you look behind the silver "cap" you will see them. Technically speaking, I think ours are actually driving lights and not really fog lights, but they do a good job of helping to illuminate the road just in front of the car and further out to the sides than just the headlights. The 2500K yellow PIAAs that I am replacing mine with are more fog lights.

I like the fact that you went with what you like, instead of what everyone else likes (hyper white). Not that there's wrong with hyper white of course, I'll be using hyper white. Nice to see someone with something different.

My solution to the ugly parking light.
Replacment bulb #2825 = Sylvania 194NA (Amber -this a bulb not a LED)
I use my fogs sometimes, so I went with bulbs instead of LEDs. Don't feel like changing that out every once in awhile.
Now all I need is the PIAA Yellow Fogs
NEW PICS ADDED

About a week after I bought my G37s I went to Kragen and bought the Sylvania amber bulbs. I tried to install it (thinking it would be a piece of cake) during my day off on Sunday but had no luck. I realized that newer cars are much more difficult to work around the engine bay. But thanks to this sweet forum, I found out the easiest route is to remove the front wheels. Which I think is a pain in the a** just to remove light bulbs. I will deffinitely try it next week during my vacation time.

^^ Just like some cars and trucks drive with them on just for the looks, (the fogs that are separate from the headlight housing like at the bottom of the bumper), right?

That looks sick! I always liked amber parking lights. I had amber in my old Honda & WRX. Amber looks very original and mean in my opinion...

LOL! Yeah I thought it was going to be a piece o cake in like 5 minutes. Best way is wheel well. You have the best view this way.
