yellow lights break through fog better and actually provide better visibility.

Our cars aren't jdm...if you go with yellow fogs, drive your car into a wall.

if anyone should drive into a wall, it's you

Yellow fogs are actually functional in the fog. The warmer light doesn't reflect as much off the fog, and thus "cuts" through it which helps a lot.

here is some real fog, from long ago when i first got the car.. It sounds like you've never driven in real fog

Actually I don't think that is true. The water droplets in fog (IIRC) are too large to scatter light differentially by wavelength, so it should not matter what wavelength (color) the fog light is.

Sweeeet pics tho.

I've read it a few times, but maybe it's wrong.. but I've used both (cool and warm bulbs) and the warmer always seemed to perform better in shitty conditions (fog/heavy snow)

If yellow lights are good enough for ALMS cars they are good enough for me. It's common car knowledge that yellow cuts through fog better, & reflects off water/ice with less glare.

You'd think the ignorant JDM comments would have died down by now..

It may well seem that the physics of yellow vs white light may be better in fog but the OP prefers it as a cosmetic 'mod'. each to their own of course and no offence originally intended just my 2pence worth in search for why its cool?
