Foglamps yellow or white?

[Matchbox]

Hi

Thanks for the help!

Regarding, Foglights are there any difference in clarity or usage with yellow colored foglamps vs stock foglights?

I noticed that there are some cars with 1 yellow colored foglights and 1 not yellow colored foglights.

and any difference if the foglights were made in china vs taiwan? Mas mahal ang taiwan made pero parehong pareho lang ang itsura.

Also would it be better to install hid headlights or install standard foglights reason is for better vision and clarity at night.

Thanks again! Sorry dami questions. Contemplating to have foglamps installed on vios 09.

Yellow foglights are better compared to white ones specially when you are living in a foggy place like baguio. tumatagos kasi ilaw ng yellow thru fog and heavy rain. taiwan or china i guess it's the same. some cabs in baguio use yellow and stock headlight.

Yellow kasi mas nakikita mo yung daan kesa sa white kasi kakulay siya ng fog

i have had yellow foglights installed in our innova about 4 weeks ago, then gave it a try in baguio,
particularly in marcos highway. and yes, yellow foglights are so effective that driving with only the foglights on gives you better clarity rather than driving with both foglights and headlights on.

This is my take on it.

Red - Yellow - White (Bluish White). Basically, this coincides with the age of the sun. Red is the youngest while white would be the oldest. Red in the color spectrum reaches the farthest as it has a longer wavelength as opposed to white which has shorter wavelengths. White may be stronger to the eyes but in terms of distance, it won't reach very far.

But you wouldn't choose red for foglights as there is little detail that is reflected back to you. The next logical choice would be yellow. =)

some may argue why HIDs get better clarity when used at night. Well, the problem is halogen is drowned out more easily by other "background/ambient" light. As you can notice when you drive by a street with working lightpost against those with none. Your headlights/foglights are not as visible/clear if you have other light sources.

When you compare against HID, it is not that your headlights/foglights are weak, but rather the HID is stronger and drowns out your light. Since all light you mostly get originates from the oncoming HID, you get little detail in your eyes as very little to none is reflected back to your eyes from your own lights. This usually happens when the oncoming party doesn't use OEMs.

Hope that helps. Cheers!
