Forgot to say, people use and say that the yellow fogs lights are better espeically when its raining or snowing, better visibility compared to the clear fog lights. So keep that in mind.

Personally I'd get the yellow fog lights just because its better for visibility during winter or raining days (not sure about fog..maybe someone tell us if its also better during foggy days) but as for looks, I like the clears but then again I'd still get the yellow fogs because I rather be safe then sorry!

Yellow light cuts through fog better. Plus it looks better because it contrasts your headlights. Yellow fogs

white is a more reflective color. So when your driving through fog thats why your headlights just stop and hit the fog like 10 feet infront of you. But yellow like someone said. cuts through the fog better and is less refelctive. I bought my fogs from a sponser on here named "Eskay" very very good guy. He sells oem replicas. Their good quality and excelent fit. AND i beleive he's selling them for 80 bux now. Awsome lights in my opinion. I just threw in some Piaa ion yellow crystal bulbs, which i bout for a great price by a guy named "safe drives" i think.

happy foglighting

I'd much rather be able to see than worry about the clear vs. yellow.

Atleast you have a choice. I would LOVE yellow fogs for the fog and snow up here in New Hampshire but all the kits for a '99 Civic are white.

you can get the pvc or whatever, but lamin-x is supposed to be the best for the film over the lense trick. personally i think the Piaa yellow bulb is godly. Not only because it's super yellow, but also its like 3 times as bright as the stock h3 bulb in the fog light.

heres before...



heres after





^^this is with the stock bulbs vs. the Piaa ion yellow bulbs

i say buy the clear since it is cheaper

and if you so choose, you have the option of making it yellow with paint/lamin-x. (a 15 dollar deal including shipping)

and you could get the piaa yellow bulbs as another option. (not sure about the price)
