Foglights - HID? 3000k (Yellow) or 4300 (White)

[scat19]

Good DAY.

I would like to know which color temperature and WHY.

(We're not going ricer nation 5000K+ here, only these two options)

3000k Yellow OR 4300K White

I'm leaning to white because it'll match my Angel Eyes when I end up getting them.

Yellow would look nice with the red?

And as I am a huge believer in properly done PROJECTED hid's, I've even installed projectors in my stock housings.

Thanks.

yellow... it cuts through fog better with less glare than white, which is why most QUALITY aftermarket fog companies only sell yellow housing/lens foglamps. Also, many cars come with yellow foglights from the factory for this very reason. Function over form for lighting...

Are your fogs also DRLs? If so, keep them white. If you've got a switch for them then go ahead and yellow them up.
You shouldn't ruin the way your car looks all the time for the 12 hours each year that this city sees heavy fog.

I believe BMW DRLs are the high beams at reduced intensity as per pic below.


Keep the halogen bulbs in them (but match their colour temperatures). They look awesome already.

I don't see an option for "Take the tint your windshield"?

I bet that would help you see at night. :thumbsup:

If you are going to attempt a burn, please don't skip words. You just burned yourself.

After seeing both of CivicDXR's rides with yellow fogs, I had to follow suit and do mine :thumbsup:

What's old is new again. Had factory yellow fogs on my '88 Prelude.

You guys are killin me. It's so even... I'd like
the fog+angel eye look.

Hey, no tint on this car whatsoever bud hah

Go yellow for all the reasons mentioned above. My LS400 had factory yellow fogs. Got into turning them on ONLY when it was raining and what a difference. All of a sudden I could see the lines again! Really do an amazing job of cutting down on glare. Yellow light also reduces eye fatigue when compared with a white light.

Not a huge fan on the angel eyes my self, They look to ebayish for me.

Go yellow only if your not a douche who won't leave them on.
Go white if you are a douche who will use them when it's not foggy.

Since you are saying it will go well with the angel eyes, then I'm guessing you fit in the latter category?
