DelawareBlueHen724 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Where ya'll get em from? And I'm guessing since it has its own ballast it will eliminate my fog light problem with the factory bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobyroo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Any functional benefit to going yellow or is this just for look? Never ridden in a car with them and figured I'd ask if they were somehow different in fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskiTrombone Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Probably about the same as wearing JDM yellow sunglasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyroo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 So, what you're saying is, they magically make the fog go away when you're driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenva Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Almost all factory-installed or dealer-optional fog lamps, and a great many aftermarket units, are essentially useless for any purpose, especially for extremely demanding poor-weather driving. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/lights/fog_lamps/fog_lamps.html RIP 96 Legacy 2.2 4EAT lost reverse @ 374,000 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelawareBlueHen724 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I couldn't find film for our second gens on the website, but im sure if I went with film I could always just cut it to make it fit. A friend of mine said to buy the ones off ebay, but they don't seem like they would work for my car. DDM tuning doesn't have the yellow fogs for our car either.

Kennyfvholla Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 You can just buy a yellow fog light bulb and throw it in, or buy some yellow vinyl off of eBay for less than $10 and cut it to fit.. And the benefit to having any yellow light is better vision when in bad weather, as the light doesn't reflect back at you off of rain or snow or hail as much.

FlexdXJ Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Put Yellow bulbs next to the other in fog and you tell me which is better! I'm going to get Yellow lamin-x and cover them myself. Not only do they look cool they work in shitty weather! They say to keep them as low as possible but mine are mounted up high on the bumper of my lifted Jeep and they do just fine. They also work nice on a trail on a dusty day so the person in front of me doesn't lose sight of me. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z89/GLi8v/2011-09-17_11-28-45_530.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stang70Fastback Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I wanted to get some PIAA Fog Lights... but ended up getting their Driving Light version instead. So not really useful in the fog, but PIAA Driving Lights + High Beams = http://images.wikia.com/lotr/images/f/f5/Eye_of_sauron.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ridden in a car with them and figured I'd ask if they were somehow different in fog. There is a definite benefit to having yellow foggies in snow driving: with yellow, you have a color contrast to help with seeing deep vs. light snow on the road; yellow is also less reflective (glare). I used to drive over Snoqualmie Pass (WA Cascades, I-90) daily and for those many days of snow driving, yellows made a huge difference in seeing. An aesthetic benefit is you never have to worry about matching color when using aftermarket bulbs in your headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michalooch Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I have yellow HIDs with their own ballasts for fogs.. they're brighter than most peoples headlights lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 ^What type of foglights are you running HIDs in? I have heard the JDM projector fogs can't handle HIDs. Don't know if that is true or not because I have also heard JDM projector headlights can't handle HIDs but I have been running HIDs in mine for quite a while with no problems. Yellow fogs don't look as cool IMO, but that is just an opinion that can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
