Fog lights bulbs color
Have you ever considered a change bulbs in your fog lights and if so, change the color?
I wavering between normal bulbs, or go to the blueish for the look and match with the HID headlights or go to the yellow for the efficiency in bad weather. I can not make up my mind. An interesting text here, they seem to prefer yellow: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...fog_lamps.html http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...ght_color.html What to do, what to do ...

One thing to consider is that whenever you turn with the headlights on or engage the turn signal, the fog light corresponding to the direction you're going (or signaling to) will light up. Might be a little weird to have a bright yellow light lit up while you're waiting.

I had a broken fog light lens a few weeks ago. The labor to replace the log light lens is absurd. If I would have had to pay for it, it would have cost $475 USD. The dealer recommended a protective film for the log lights. I bought the clear, but they have several other colors. I think the blue is really nice, depending on the color of the car.

I got my "American / European" fog lights and I have installed. They are really more effective than the Canadian versions. And I installed PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow (2500K) bulbs inside. I love it!
