This is a functional question and not appearance question.



I live in a rural area on the outskirts of Atlanta where there are no lights at night in some areas, so lighting is important.



I understand yellow fog lights are good in the fog, because a color bulb will reflect than "white" light. So it works better in fog or rain.



Fog and rain is not an issue in my area.



Are there any benefits of a yellow bulb in my area in terms of lighting?

 

If you're wanting it for better lighting in dimly lit areas, I'd suggest investing in HIDs before fog lights. $30 @ DDM Tuning or $80 shipped from Diode Dynamics (a site vendor). Order a 4300k kit for pure white brightness, or a 6000k if you want a slightly bluish tint (my choice), or 8000k if you want a noticeable bluish tint.



I will install HIDs in every car I own. They make such a big difference. I installed Diode Dynamics' kit on my 00 Tiburon and my '10 Genesis Coupe, and I have HIDs on my 09 Murano.



I don't know the answer to your specific question, but HIDs should give you more visibility than fog lights, regardless of color.

 

I have yellow fogs, love em.

 

You can get the best of both worlds and get the yellow 3k HID fogs. Both my kits are Diode Dynamics and have been great to me for the last 18 months.

 

sorry to hijack the thread a bit, but is brightness the only reason that fogs are short range only? I've got a set of factory fogs shipping at the moment, and i want some HID/big halogens to convert them to driving lights. is this doable with brightess and aiming?

 

The reflector type on fog lights is wrong for driving lights.



The beam isn't focused enough to re-purpose them by aiming.

I installed 55w 3000k HID fogs on my 2010 accent hatchback. The extra lumens is very noticeable, and great in bad weather conditions. They are pretty easy to install too. You would have to remove your bumper, but that's pretty easy. I have videos on YouTube of how to do this. Search "Hyundai accent 3000k HID fog light installation"

 

^ how long have you had them? I've heard of the plastic housing melting due to the high heat from 55w HIDs in a small enclosed area.

 

i also live in the rural outskirts of atlanta, 65 miles south of atl in pike county. HID's are the way to go, i converted mine about 5years ago and have never had any problems, it has helped me avoid hitting all kinds of wild life while working night shift.

-just plain yellow halogen fog lights wont help except in fog, i've been trying to find yellow HID fogs but no luck yet.
