I have seen PIAA white driving lights in OEM fogs and they look great, and really help with lighting down low and on the burm of the road. Also the yellow PIAA bulb will also look great, and give you alot of contrast in foggy , low light, conditions.

I would want the option of changing out the bulbs to whatever color I wanted.
And you cant have that option with a yellow lens.. But your JDM buddies wont think your as cool...

Choose your lighting based on what will perform the best. Who cares what is cool and JDM.. seeing a hazard on the road a second or two faster could save your life.

For go what is 'cool' and go with what you feel (or has been proven) to give you the best lighting performance.

Well, the clear ones are JDM OEM as well. So long as they're by Stanley. But yeah, the amber ones are much nicer in appearance. Got mine for two bills.

White to yellow...


City lights, etc...

Having just put mine in...they are OEM clear off an Si....

- the paint might look cheap or come off in the heat or weather.
- the clear are just that...clear
- Hella makes a yellow H3 (i think it is) for the fog lights so....you could have the "JDM yO!" look when they are on

Brian,

Just get the fogs, I'll come over and help with the install and we'll install one of my amber H3 bulbs. Then we'll take it from there.
