Best Fog Light Color!, Final pic on page 2! Options

[snapshotgt]

I just purchased some st202 OEM fogs for my 94 bumper (the JDM ones), and I’m wondering what color H3 bulbs I should put in. This poll should be directly related to my situation--is this--not a whole lot of fog, but a ton of deer, and basically just want more light. I like the "Yellow JDM hotness" factor, but don't know if they'll put out as much light as a xenon white/blue bulb.

Also, what bulbs have you found to put out the most light? >>> maker/color?

---> and I know this will come up, so here is a link debating the whole "yellow works better in fog" theory:

here is a pic of the fogs just for kicks :



btw, my headlights are 8500k xenon white/blue

Let me know what you guys think!

ur not supposed to use ur fogs in normal clear weather tho...

i used to think yellow/amber was better for fog lights... but then a bunch of people started telling me it's more about how they're aimed/projected instead of the colour

so now i'm not sure nemore =P

but um... doesn't more light make the deer... um... tranced or wutever u call it?

Of course you have to align them correctly. Assuming correct alignment, amber color will allow more visibility.

sorry.. when i said aimed/projected... i meant like.. the optics of the foglights...


i dunno if this is true.. but somebody had mentioned that in france/switzerland/sweden, it used to be law that foglights had to be yellow... because they helped vision in foggy weather... apparently, they later changed that law when they realized that in actuality, a higher temperature light was better...

but on another note... if the more light is because of deer... aren't deer attracted/put in a daze because of the bright lights????
