Yellow light cuts through fog, white light reflects it.

If you go with clear lenses, be sure to get some yellow bulbs!

I got yellows and I'm happy with them, plus I don't have to hunt down yellow bulbs on ebay everytime I have a burn out.

I think it depends on the brightness of each color and the aim of the fog light that determines how well they work against rain fog snow etc.

apparently yellow has better visibilty in fog... :S

i dont know about MA, but check if theres any laws against yellow lights etc... sometimes white might be better. if no restrictions, yellow FTW!

that apparently, has been proven wrong many times, fog particles are to big for light refraction to occur, so yellow or white or purple will all work the same, except white is the brightest

It ends up being a 20-30% decrease in lighting performance if you choose yellow bulbs, or yellow lenses

right

And to better prove your point a quick google search/link would quickly show your point is not your own but shared by others..... oh say like THIS link.
