Default Question to ask and opinions needed about foglights.

I have been debating on changing my current driving lights from white to yellow foglights. I don't have the factory driving lights, I have some PIAA 1000 lights I have owned for years. I inquired about converting them to yellow instead being white. How many owners here who have the factory driving lights, wish they could have the option of either yellow or white? I saw the write up about the ebay foglights, don't wanna go through those problems that is for sure. If I have to buy new lights to change them to foglights I just might.

if your talking about the factory foglights that go on the bottom grill, i have them and i changed them from stock white to jdm yellow bulbs from luminics. its a little darker than the white but it sure does look sweet. i also changed my highbeams and low beams to jdm yellow but got a ticket for having yellow low beams so i had to change em back

I've got the factory foglights and I swapped out the white lights with some cheapy ebay yellows and it looks great. I did it more for making myself visable to other cars than for enhancing my view of the road (which is just fine as is). The yellow fogs really make my car stand out at night

I actually bought a second set of HID's from HIDextra.com and switched out my stockie bulbs and put in some 6000k HIDs in there, first off they look SICK! Second off, they set the road on fire! I can see everything, and because they don't aim higher than my driving lights I have not had ANY problems with police. You'd be AMAZED and the visibility I have now.

You know, I am not sure what car it is, but I think it may have been an Acura which I saw had some yellow lights in the driving lights/fog lights, and they looked brighter than other yellow fog lights that I have seen, they could have been yellow LED fog lights, that is what gave me the idea in the first place.

I had LED foglights before I switched them out to HID's and granted the LED's looked cool, they really didn't produce much light output for me.
