Yellow fogs on 03-05 lights
Anyone have pure yellow (~3000k) lights in their fog/day driving lights in their 03-05 reflector headlights (h4)?
If u do any pics?
I currently have 6000k in my low beams, and I tried to get 6000k for my fogs too to match, but it didn't and they still have that dull white-yellow combo the OEMs have. And I read that the h4s will never be pure white/6000k unless you get an HID kit
So I was thinking of putting pure yellow in the fogs instead since i'd like it better than the dull white-yellow the OEM fogs have. what do you guys think? I've seen it on the projector lights and they look good, but wanted pics for the 03-05 lights.

hmmm.. never really thought of doing that.. but looks kinda sweet.. my 04 sedan doesn't have the strip.. so it would be just the dual lamps and the amber turn signal... might be worth a shot to go with the amber fog lamps...!?
kinda has a Porsche 911/Euro look to it... hmmm

6000k on top, and 3000k pure yellow on bottom, on black housing.... it'll either look good, or look like crap lol. but i just hate that dull white-yellow OEM color in our fogs/daylight driving light

I've got HOEN XENONMATCH 5500K's on mine right now... 6000K V-LED's for the driving lights.. nice match for the HID's... but traditionally.. BEFORE there ever WAS RICE... Fogs were ALWAYS AMBER...exclusivley... all the German and Italian Sports Cars/Exotics had AMBER fogs... SCCA Off-Road racers had AMBER fogs.... it's not ABOUT rice... it's about lighting standards... but the trend now for "touring" sports cars seems to be 6000-8000K projectors... so give the man a break about the "rice"... TOTALLY agree with you on the 10000K+ blue/purple thing.. how the hell can you even SEE with lights so weak in luminosity!?

I guess I just see amber as more of an orange than a yellow. but, In the end its all about the individual, I'm just expressing my opinion because it was asked. if it is disagree'd with then so be it, he spent thousands of dollars on that car, not me. so I cant even get mad at what he does w/ it. I hope his car makes him happy though...

Nah.. to many colors going on with your turn signal and such.. I did run yellow fogs in my 06s and it looks better since the blinker is clear and no clearance strip.. if u get an hid kit for your fogs it will match better.. id go with the brightt hid kit.. I installed one on my buddies car..
