Opinions on yellow fogs on G-Sedan

Just wanted to get some opinions on yellow foglights. My buddy had a Acura TL back in the day with the yellow fog lights built in and I've always been a fan of them. Also had a soft spot for the yellow headlights on certain BMW's and such when they're done right.

I'm not a fan of the factory built in fogs on my G sedan being so generic white, so I was thinking about changing them out for yellow (bulbs or HID's, haven't decided). Anyone have any thoughts or pictures? Mine's a black on black 06 6mt G sedan for clarification.

I have Luminics Ultra Golden's for my fogs/high beams (H4 bulb). They're rated at 3750K (most yellow fogs are 2500K) and they are truly a yellow-gold color. They look good and are very bright, and they cut through bad weather very well. Eventually I'm going to replace my stock 4300K low beam with a 6000K bulb. Should be a nice combo with yellow-gold and bluish-white. I don't have pics of the Ultra Goldens, but I'll try to get some this weekend.

I have the Luminics 2500K bulbs in my fox on my black sedan. I did it mainly for bad weather driving. My fogs are off 99% of the time as personally I don't think it looks good at all, but it does help with driving in inclimate weather plus I love the high beams. Really lights up the road well. Great for driving down back roads when deer are notorious for stepping out.

Downside is they are higher wattage, so my headlights get noticably hotter when they are on...so i try not to run them too long in fear of burning something.

Really wish i could find some stock wattage yellow bulbs..or just maybe do HID's

I have yellow fogs on the coupe and love them. Purchase them on Ebay and save yourself some money.

Sorry it's on a coupe though..
And the picture really doesn't do it justice. Its more of a vivid yellow in person.

They don't look as yellow as I'd be expecting - is it just the lighting/angle?

Mine is about the same.

Looks better at night. In the daytime, off at an angle, you don't really get a good idea.

Plus it was a camera phone picture. It looks REALLY yellow. Even my dslr has a hard time picking it up. If you're anywhere near Central Jersey I'll be more than happy to show you.
