Yellow Fogs
« on: April 30, 2012, 02:32:33 pm »
Hello all, i was thinking of changing my fogs to yellow ones. i know its not to everyones preference but i would like to do it. i was just wandering if i can put any bulbs in or does it throw up an error on the ecu.

Like MVB mentioned lamin does the trick but if you want the real yellow look then you need bulbs or bulbs and tint - let me know which fog lights you have I have a set of bulbs going cheap (you either have the project ones or the normal everyday bulb ones)

**if you want the bulbs as well that is**

Yellow, yellow cuts through the fog better especially thicker fog. if you google it there will be a load of scientific explanations. I believe its one of the reasons for the french using yellow fogs.

Apparently yellow light is better for fog as white light reflects more on the fog (something like that)

I wear yellow prescription specs when driving at night and on dark days or in fog and vision is improved. It also cuts the glare from other lights.
