best color for foglight/auxilliary light bulb

[wewoy_romero]

guys, just want to ask:

what is the best color for foglights/auxilliary driving lights?

sabi kasi yellow, pero may nakikita ako blue, rainbox, white, etc.

ano ba yung pinaka-ok na makikita mo talaga yung daan in bad weather and pwede rin for everyday use?

many thanks.

sa akin, yellow. kita mo yung buga maski malakas ulan, o makapal yung fog.
o maski pang everyday driving.

[ssaloon]

yellow or all weather. but if you want to go HID, ok ang 3000k, 4300k. basta wag lang tataas sa 6000k, you should be ok.

Based on my experience, yellow should be the one for fog lights....


:starwars:

[wewoy_romero]

are you guys referring to yellow (as in dilaw talaga ang kulay) or yung slightly yellowish-white (same sa headlights)?

[blink21me]

they're talking about pure yellow, if you go to a store that sells 'em you'll see the bulb is actually coated with yellow (most cases)...

I've gone through pure/crystal white to yellow fogs, IMHO they don't do much in rain or thick fog... I drove many times through thick fogs where I couldn't see more than 2 car lengths ahead of me. Neither yellow nor white makes a difference, I tried turning the headlights off and on, no worthy difference. Unless you go HIDs, IMHO they're just for bling . . .

For me yellow is the best fog lamps color, mas visible ang dadaanan mo kapag may fog or ulan.

I want to hear what Doc Otep wud say about your inquiry.

i go for yellow na fog light din.

[alwayz_yummy]

for me kung makakakuha ka ng casing na rainbow, un the best.. ang bulb mo ay white pero up to 5000k lang... ganda nyan for all season.

a yellow reflector/lens fog is good+white bulb is also a best combi..

[wewoy_romero]

pero for everyday driving (hindi maulan and no fog), visible pa rin ba yung yellow and nai-illuminate pa rin ba niyang mabuti ang road? dami ko kasi dinadaanan na wet asphalt roads and parang inaabsorb nito yung ilaw from my headlights

[OTEP]

Yellow auxillary lamps din for me. It may not really improve the way you see (vs. the standard bulb) but it improves your visibility to other motorists (they can see you better).

[wewoy_romero]

what if my purpose is for me to see better without having to tinker with the stock headlights?

[ineedmorehp]

Yupzzz

anung brand ng bulbs? h7 diba mga maliliit na bulbs or yun yung mga bago na xenon-filled bulbs?

[OTEP]

Fog lamps are supposed to only see what's immediately ahead of the bumper. The beam is low and wide (to go under fog).

If your intention is for long range vision, maybe you need a different type of auxillary lamp.
