What do you mean? Yellow fogs/lights have a function. You can see much better than with the shitty stock lights that come with at least EH civics.

It's not like if you use yellow lights people think you are a race car driver. Just be careful, they might not be legal where you live.

At OP:
I got to get some...functional fogs for my car...don't know where to start looking though...probably OEM.

Anyway, if you think it looks nice, go for it. Search, I'm sure you can find a picture of a car with yellow headlights and yellow fogs. See if you like it, decide then. Never forget, it's YOUR car...who cares what other people think.

Though one thing I would look into is if the visibility is any less with yellow headlights (I wouldn't know, I never had them).

I rock yellow fogs all the time, and have yellow headlights in the summer when it's not as dark, but there's usually fog at night. Yeah, the visibility is reduced because the yellow, while it is BRIGHTER light, the wavelength is shorter (thus why it's good for inclimate weather), and so it doesn't have as much output.

Why are you guys talking about "yellow headlights"? There's no such thing as "yellow headlights." There are yellow "bulbs" but that's it. Unless you went all out ricer and painted your headlight glass yellow.

I suggest if you don't want to look like a n00b, then start calling parts by their names.

In addition to facing the social difficulties that you're asking about, you might also want to check your local laws.

In Virginia, for example, there's a weird law that stipulates that the lights providing the main forward illumination must provide a temperature range of light that is basically white.

I don't really think that the color of your headlights affects your sexuality, but yeah I don't really like the yellow headlights. A set of HIDS with the yellow fogs looks great! But it's your car man, so do what you like!

Yellow Fogs do nothing for a car what so ever, they don't increase your visabilty in fog

If you want to get fog lights, Clear lens, and whitest bulb you can find!

Do you even know how the human eye reacts to light? Do you know what reduces visibility in fog? Do you know what "refraction" is?



PS - Tell all those semi drivers out there that drive night after night across the country that thier yellow foglights are stupid and they better just switch to some APC hyper-whites.

Fog lights have the biggest effect, the closer they are to the ground. Fog hovers 12-18 inches off the ground., so shine the light below there any you can illuminate the road more, that's why fog lights have a cut off.

Fog praticles are so big, that they reflect all colors of light

So it doesn't matter what color you chose, the brighter the better...
