Hi guys,

I am really curious why so many people have yellow foglights on here?? I'm not trying to start any wars but I just don't understand it.

 

'Cause yellow fog lights= teh chit.

 

Yellow fogs is MAD JDM TYTE YO!

Seriously though, there has been debate that the yellow color of the light makes it easier to see in low light/foggy conditions. Not sure if there is any hard evidence to prove that or not, but that is the assumption.

 

kinda like asking someone "why the blue car?" . Its just the color they chose and liked. There is some that say the yellow makes it easier to see as stated above, but most just chose the color they think looks good. Mine fog overlays are blue.

 

To put it simply, because people think it helps improve lighting in fog. Just the same as how people think 12000K HIDs are 'brighter' than OEM.

Yellow fogs do not penetrate fog droplets any more than white fogs. The yellow fog theory has been proven wrong.

And for the JDMtools, it's French, not JDM.

 

some people like the look, like the way the is300 looked with yellow foglights, and others (like me) do it to pay hommage to the AE86 in initial d

 

It isn't necessarily that the light penetrates the fog any deeper, but yellow does improve the contrast of things. I know my yellow tinted goggles for snowboarding come out when visibility is reduced and it helps to see changes in the terrain. I believe that is the reason it can't be proved because it is kind of subjective.

 

^^^Yes, yellow for contrast, not for brightness/penetration.

 

Cool like I said, I wasn't trying to bad talk anyone I just didn't understand it. I have seen a ton of people on here with 8k HIDs and those yellow fogs and it just didn't make sense... Sorry if I ____ed anyone off...

 

Doc is talking about PENETRATION

 

I was trying to leave that one alone......

 

Getch'yer minds outta there!!

 

It's just another wack fad.

 

like boy bands???

 

LMFAO this thread made me laugh

 

back in the late 90's when the import scene was starting to bloom a lot of people had yellow fogs. then it went to hyper white or light bluish now its back to yellow again. i wouldn't call it a fad, i would say its a returning trend. i do like the yellow contrast to the light bluish headlights tho.

So fog lights are like jeans? Bell bottom->straight leg->flares->skinny jeans?

 

LMFAOOOO

i like levi skinny fit jeans

 

u can say that cap'n.
