has anyone tinted their fog lights yellow or put a yellow bulb in their fogs?

how do you like it? I've read that yellow light cuts through fog better and is easier for our eyes to see.

Id like to see some pictures if you have.

 

Thanks!

I was reading a post about headlights awhile back and saw someone had put a yellow film over his...Went back through the post and found @Limited360 had done his...PM him if you want to do that...He had a picture up and the fogs were 100% yellow.

My daughter bought a used 4runner recently (first car almost on her own) with yellow bulbs in the fogs. Honestly, to me, it looked tacky and she felt the same. When she drove it home, her boyfriend came to see it. He immediately got in his truck, went to the store, bought new bulbs, and threw the yellows away.

 

I am a huge believer that it's your truck, your money, make yourself happy and that's all that matters. But since you did ask, that's my only experience with yellow fog light bulbs.

 

When I was messing with Jeeps, I did read on more than one occasion that the higher end yellow bulbs cut through fog better than clear. Hope that helps a little.

I put cheap LED bulbs in mine but the output on the fogs is minimal that i dont think it will do anything for fog.

Look into Morimoto fog lights, its one complete unit for $200. Better than any bulb you can put in the factory ones.

Check Qwank's build thread on his RCSB Z71, he put yellow tint over the factory lights, looks pretty cool.

I moved to Canada from the UK, thick fog was a common occurrence there & I found yellow fog lights offered better vision as less light got reflected back.

I have laminix on mine. Took them like 3 tries to send the right ones and when I got them, the fit wasn't all that great, but good enough! I ended up putting them on my wife's SUV and also my friends 6.2L. I love the look of the yellow. Call it rice, JDM, euro, or whatever, but it's more visible during bad weather and also has better contrast against asphalt. I tried looking for yellow LED bulbs to replace the factory ones but just too much work and effort so i went for the film.

Did the yellow tint to try it out. 

I like the look so we will see how it performs at night. 

If I don't like it I'm only in it $4.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
