Never liked the yellow fog look even back in the day when it was very popular on the old 205GTI

I used to paint my headlights of my Mk1 Polo with the yellow 'paint' (more like a nail varnish or similar!) you bought if you were going to France , Ive never seen it for ages so how do they do it now - I was doing this in 1988!

They do cut down on the glare quite a bit. Anything that reflects less "WHITE" helps when foggy.
How they look to you in daylight is based purely on taste, but night vision in fog is the main reason for them;

I do like the "retro" look on the yellow fogs.
