Default Yellow bulbs or HID?

Just got Hid's for my headlamps on my 07 Tc, and the standard fog light color looks terrible. I want to make them yellow, but don't really want to spend extra money to hid them. Would getting just yellow bulbs be sufficient? If just yellow bulbs would look like crap, then I would for sure hid them.

You could always buy some "Nokya hyper yellow" bulbs... my friend has em for his headlights and they look pretty yellow. Im in the same situation as you, but I think im going to just buy those bulbs, instead of paying another $90 on HID's for fogs. You can get them for like $30 so.

Yup if you just want the yellow output, yellow aftermarket bulbs would be sufficient. We have PIAA H3 yellows in stock. Halo solaris yellows are a lot cheaper and are expected to be in stock in a few more weeks!

Yellow HIDs would be the best choice if you need the extra visibility though.

Get the Nokya Hyper yellows off ebay.. I have them on VRDs and they look good. And if you want more yellow, grab some overlays.

HIDs will just blind oncoming traffic.

@OP:Which foglights do you have???

Either way HIDs will just be glaring and you will likely ____ off oncoming traffic. But the bulbs lists above should be just fine.
