fog lights

I want to change the fog light bulbs to a yellow color like 3000k on the stock headlights , does anyone know of a good light bulb ? And if it would look any good ? Also I have heard that changing the bulb could melt the housing/ wiring ,and on certain cars its melted the reflectors ! Is that true?

Don't go HID in foglights! Those reflectors were not designed for hid's and will glare everyone on the road including you, they will not be helpful at all. Go with a 2500K halogen bulb like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NOKYA...item3f05f9c3f1

I don't agree with that what so ever, I have 8000k HID as both fogs and projectors, and by no means does it glare me, yes they are not designed for HID but it's totally fine to put them in, a lot of people put HIDs in reflectors.

the reflectors are not made to reflect HID light plain and simple, it's gonna disperse light everywhere onto oncoming traffic. Just because a lot of kids put it in their car doesnt make its right

Replace the stock bulbs with either Luminics JDM Yellows or Nokya Hyper Yellows and call it a day.

Yea I put in aftermarket light bulbs they look great really like the outcome , the only thing I don't like is that ugly Orange parking light so I decided just to take off the light bulb and leave w/o a bulb looks way better

Do you only use them in inclement weather like really foggy or really wet & rainny nights/days? They will glare like hell off the wet roads. It's counter productive to put hid's in any reflector housings but especially fogs!

I have had yellow hid fogs in my car since day 1....that was 3 years ago. They are suppose to "glare" off the wet road. Thats the point of yellow fog lights. Water absorbs the whiter light spectrums but doesnt absorb the the yellow spectrum. Thats why yellow fogs are great for wet conditions since they penetrate the water and reflect off to give useable light on the ground. I have also never once been flashed or told anything about my fogs, that are pointing towards the ground anyway, that they are producing any type of oncoming glare.

being the 07, my fog/drl is on all the time in day light, and at night i don't really turn on the fog since i live in the city and i don't have much use for the extra light, as for rainny weather i have noidea, i live in canada and this place is dry and cold with a lot of snow, in the snow i can tell you that it does help. when i was on the highway without any road lights, i had the fogs on and i can c the brightness difference.
