which is better yellow or white fog bulb?

Stock wiring and sockets will not handle 130 watt HL bulbs.

You will need to install a relay kit and use ceramic sockets.

If you try to use the stock wiring/sockets, the wiring will heat & potentially melt the insulation and the plastic sockets will melt as well.

this is correct. not only that you will damage the chrome finish of your hl. Can you imagine at that power rating you are producing almost three times the wattage vs. the stock bulbs? now the heat that this bulb will generate will adversely affect the reflector bowl of your hl.

plus...this will burn/blacken his headlight faster.

but I can see an embossed print of "H4 130/90W" at the HL socket. does it mean that the socket has already been upgraded and not a stock socket anymore?

wala pa akong nakitang oem socket na ceramic type so kung naka ceramic kana then its upgraded already. Obvious naman ceramic type coz kahit marumi na alam mo pa rin na ceramic yung material surrounding the flat male terminals.

oks! thanks garyq. i guess i'll just stick to stock bulbs. i have clear windsheild tint naman, one less problem than with super dark front windsheild tints

I'll stick to Yellow than White. Ask ko lang mga fellow tsikot, ok ba ang Plasma Xenon Pure Yellow Halogen? 60/55w siya. Nabili ko sa handyman sa Galleria. Di ko pa na kakabit hanggang ngayon. Excited ako i try. Kapag kinbit ko sa headlights, di naman siguro ako huhulihin non.

alin ang mas malakas = osram all weather/philipis xp na 55/65 watts o ordinary bulb na 90/100watts?

[mikomac]

if you have HID or White Bulbs in your HL, Yellow will be useful, and this will help when it rains or fogs.

pero if regular bulbs lang naman, pede na white, kasi parang irregular tignan.

pag naka fog lights kita mo yung mga lubak pag malapit na, unlike pag wala. mahirap.

The old wives' tale that yellow fog lights give you greater visibility over white or blue ones is just not true. The premise of that superstition, that yellow light waves are long enough to pass through water particles without reflecting back into the driver's eyes, is based on a misinterpretation of Lord Rayleigh's principle of light scattering. As it turns out, the water particles in fog and mist are entirely too large to have an effect on any light waves from fog lights, be they yellow, white, blue or even green. In other words, any fog light that is properly mounted and aimed is effective, so don't worry about the color.

I have a 3000k bulb installed in my '11 Commuter. So far so good
Far brighter than the stock one. Or it's just me.
