I wanted to know if the OEM Fogs helped significantly in seeing at night and in the rain?

Would a better alternative be buying some projectors and sticking a set of HID in them?

Anyone have experience with either of these?

I really dont want to spend $200 on the OEM fogs but Im worried about hitting a pothole and bending a rim at night + rain since I sometimes cant see very well at night.

 

I had a chance to drive xB with factory fogs in it and after that i decided not to buy them. Hardly any difference. May be better with upgraded bulb in them, but i decided to save my $$ anyway. There are plenty of aftermarket fog lights that will look good in lower grille. JDM fog lights have better output due to the different style reflector housing but they dont just plug in- some extra mods needed to fit them into bumper cutouts.

 

I have them and they don't do much good. Maybe they would be better with yellow lenses or bulbs.

The JDM one might be better but by how much, who can really say.

 

I have OEM with yellow bumbs and yellow overlays. I can definetly see a difference when they're on.

 

Where do you get yellow overlays? Got any pics?

 

I ordered my headlight overlays from headlightarmor.com I am completely happy with the quality of the product and the service.

They sell yellow fog overlays as well. I believe they are around $14.

 

they don't do much

 

I got my overlays from www.Rockblocker.com

I couldn't really see much difference with the stock lights in the fogs, but when I put in yellow bumbs, I could really see a difference.

 

Do you think the yellow bulbs would do more good than the overlays?

 

I just got the overlays for looks, I put them on after my bulbs.

The bulbs help out a ton.
