which is better yellow or white fog bulb?

[dachshund]

im planning to change my fog light, yellow or white? what are their advantages and disadvantages?

[ghosthunter]

In real foggy conditions, yellow is better.

In typical city driving use, white (3000 to 5000 kelvin temp) is better.

Note: super white bulbs look nice but are useless when it rains.

[[archie]]

from the two, ill go for yellow na lang pero given another choice, all weather bulb for me.

[dr. d]

physics wise, yellow. but i wish their users aim them the right way, that is, low. even lower than lo beam headlights. otherwise, nakakasilaw sa oncoming motorist. white? like the man said, white is useless as it only illuminates the rain and smoke/fog infront of it and nothing more.

[speed unlimited]

Right now i have a white bulb . Planning for a change to buy all weather bulb.

[testament11]

yellow for me. white, for pogi points lang...

[alwayz_yummy]

tinanong nyu ba muna kung yellow na ba lens nya or clear/white? pag yellow na lens mo, white ka na.. mas maganda buga.. pero kung clear/white lens mo, yellow ka.

[s_quilicot]

Yellow. kahit anong weather maliwanag.

Yellow HID is best for use lalo na pag umuulan. That's why in Europe and the UK yun yung madalas na naka kabit sa foglight and sa high beam. Just don't use it as a low beam kasi mas nakakasira sa retina ang yellow HID kaysa sa mga 6k onwards. Also alam ko bawal kasi as low beam yun kasi when I was in Germany and UK we got pulled over for using a yellow HID as our low beam. Ok daw na high beam and fog kasi you rarely use them and only in the worst visibility conditions. The cop even gave us a pamphlet on what colors are acceptable and to which part of your headlight. Bawal rin ang 12k na HID. 6-8k lang daw ang acceptable.

Yellow fogs for visibility and pogi points, or kaya All weather bulbs mayellow din ang buga. Hwag mo lang kalimutan na i-align yung fogs mo kasi nakakasilaw talaga siya, wawa ang mga kasalubong mo.But if you have money for HID kits, 3000k yellow na, less wattage (35 watts-55 watts) and runs cooler than halogen bulbs.

I choose yellow and put it as low as possible. Here are some explanations:

a. Human eyes are more responsive with long wavelength light like yellow, red, and green.
b. Since fog droplets are too large, wavelength(color) has nothing to do with fog penetration.
c. All light colors scatters the same rate in fog/ water, so color is never an issue to choose from as long as its road legal(not blue or red).
d. Lights placed 2 feet or less below the road gets better visibility because most of the time fog does not touch the ground.
- Thats why fog lights are positioned in the lower part of your car.
- This explains also why using high beam causes poorer visibility than using low beam - due to more reflected/ dispersed light in the fog.
e. Proper aiming of lights is the best tool to achieve good visibility.
f. Using super-white HID would be useless since it reflects white light(rich in color) back to the driver.

Near useless. Promise.

Better invest on hella, bosch, PIAA or other branded foglights.

[OldSchoolHack]

yellow dapat ang fog lamps.

But if you think about it wala naman halos fog sa Metro Manila. Smog meron. Sa Baguio pa meron fog. rain is not fog.

so in the end, kahit alin pwede. yellow or white.

[alwayz_yummy]

DLAA - pag budget..pero fades in time... invest ka sa known brands..

ako my personal favorites: KOITO, IPF and RAYBRIG-japan (madami fake na raybrig). ok din sa akin brands like HELLA, BOSCH, WURTH, LIGHTFORCE(tama ba--ung HID made in australia)

[aejhayl17]

yellow for me, porma na, useful pa. ganda ng view pag umuulan or even when it doesnt rain, maliwanag talaga. although clear ang tint ng advie ni tito, kya mas maliwanag pa. use yellow bulbs in low beam and fog lights sa advie na pampasahero. palit din ako sa altis ko ng yellow for low beam and fog lights this weekend sana. we are talking bout birght yellow colored bulbs, right? not the stock yellow?

sakit lang sa mata pag maling allignment. parang hid pero mas masakit sa mata dahil matinkad na dilaw imho.

OT:
anu ba magnda brand ng yellow HB4 and H3 type bulbs, anyone?

[testament11]

sa brands, gusto ko ang ipf, raybrig, piaa, polarg. yun nga lang, ang mamahal ng mga eto. kung gusto mo ng maganda na mura, solarzen, euroline

"use yellow bulbs in low beam"

sige po gawin nyo yan at pag nagkita tayo huhuliin ko kayo. May international rule regarding the use of yellow as the low beam. Here are the INTERNATIONAL rules about lights sa mga vehicles. Ang dami naming nahuhuling ganyan sa US and Germany. Haven't you ever wondered why car manufacturers don't install yellow low beams eventhough it provides great visibility???

Check ECE and SAE standards.

Blue and yellow headlights (24011 VC). Headlights must be white - blue and yellow are illegal. Look for the DOT symbol on the bulb and package.

Headlights brighter or higher wattage than those from the factory (24011 VC). You may be able to see better, but the lights are illegal.
