Need opinions on foglight bulb colour
 
Foglights are projectors like this:

Car looks like this:

They will go along the bottom under the two blacked out corner lights, aligned under the headlights (where the headlight meets the grill)

Headlights are at 6000k temperature.

Already looked into the debate about whether 3000k is actually more beneficial in rain and snow etc. I'm ecstatic about both colours which is exactly why I need some extra opinions since I'm on the fence.

2500K Yellow or 6000k white with blue-ish ?

I'm just thinking 2500k might be for more of a race-oriented type car whereas I think mine is more "VIP" style so it should match the headlights at 6000k or.... well completely on the fence lol since I'll be running the fogs as driving lights and I've always wanted the yellow DRL's.

Please help me decide which would look better lol

Thanks guys!

10,000k.

jbsali 03-22-2010 11:03 PM

3,000k for sure... for sure

My vote goes to the Yellow ones.

Like you said its more beneficial in the rain and snow. Even though its pretty common, it still looks great and still stands out.

IMO a "VIP" car with yellow foglights is pretty sex. It's like... a car with with class meets a car with style.

Let us know what you decide!

hi-revs 03-22-2010 11:09 PM

yellow gets my vote!

Shun Izaki 03-22-2010 11:14 PM

YERROW = win color, + higher visibility

LenovoTurbo 03-22-2010 11:27 PM

2500k YELLOW for sure!

CanadaGoose 03-23-2010 12:02 AM

+1 YELLOW!!

tofu1413 03-23-2010 12:06 AM

you must.. >9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


naw just joking. yellow will work well with current set up. the oem EL fogs (which i have actually seen in person) are yellow projectors themselves.. so why not? :)

FN-2199 03-23-2010 12:16 AM

2500k FTW!

TRD Rs200 03-23-2010 12:19 AM

3000K, and are those PIAA projectors?

greendb7 03-23-2010 12:25 AM

This is the cutoff on these fogs, with a 6000k HID kit though. On HidPlanet, arguably the best set of projectors for its price ( "Blazer" ).

Have high expectations for these fogs even though I'm just going to run halogens for now, which will probably be the yellow 2500k nokya's since every single person has voted yellow except for one sarcastic 10000k lol

Mugen EvOlutioN 03-23-2010 07:44 AM

10000000000 K!!!!!!!


ok ok JDM yellow for the win


:thumbsup:

124Y 03-23-2010 07:52 AM

Yellow for sure.

TOPEC 03-23-2010 09:07 AM

10000K looks best
seriously!

!Aznboi128 03-23-2010 09:12 AM

I got blazer fogs too, I have them at 4300, my tsx projectors are at 4300 as well
but i got drl at 3000k

!Yaminashi 03-23-2010 09:34 AM

Yellow DRL's are sex on black cars

jpark 03-23-2010 09:55 AM

i have 6000k fogs but i regret it, i wish i went with 3000k with some yellow vinyl over it, so yes.. 3000 ftw

illicitstylz 03-23-2010 10:03 AM

DDM 35w 3000k HID's in the blazer fogs that i've ordered. Looks amazing and really pushing me to order the HID's although there's known heating issues with putting HID's in.

You can't tell me that doesn't look good.


Since the projector lens IS clear, next thing I'm contemplating is whether to leave the projector lens clear, or order some lamin-x tint film that will reduce damage (rock chips etc) to the projector lens as well as keep the yellow look even when the bulbs are off.

Should I get the yellow lamin-x film tint?

Mugen EvOlutioN 03-23-2010 10:49 AM

some ppl had issues using lamin-x tint on their fogs, causing it to melt

i just used 3m clear bra for my fogs

will definitely look into it, has anyone else used 3m clear bra or lamin-x on their fogs? I'm just skeptical because I don't think there will be really that much damage from rock chips to the fogs on Vancouver roads?

well it was cheap since i got a deal on it, reason why is i read numerous ppl on rsx board ppl having issue with their OEM cracked fog light lens down in the states, therefore i took the precaution and wrapped my fogs.
