New yellow foglights.

Got 6000K HID's awhile ago, and the stock foglights just look lame with them.

Had to decide between going with yellow or blue fogs, and ended up going with yellow.



New bulb on the left, obviously. You can really see the difference between yellow foglights, and a lame normal halogen color. It's the difference between looking purposeful and looking cheap.

Honestly...doesn't look much different...and I think yellow fogs are as FTL as it gets.

You sound like a philistine. Of course it doesn't look much different, it's just a deeper shade of yellow. It isn't supposed to be a radical modification, it's a subtle touch. To those with a discriminating eye, the difference is clear between someone who is running HID headlights and didn't bother with his foglamps, and someone with attention to detail.

Blue foglamps are fail, not only because it is simply imitating the look of HID, but because it serves no purpose. Super bright blue lights completely void the purpose of having foglights in the first place. Does it look good? Yes, but in a form over function sort of way.

Blue foglights would look appropriate on an Escalade or something else seeking the "bling-bling" look, but this look is appropriate for a sport compact.

Definitely. I'll post some tonight. I tried to simulate night pics in my garage, but there was entirely too little room.

I kept mine stock when I ran 6k's in my halos on my old car.

If I was going to go HID I would go 4300 on the fogs...

...I hate yellow fogs.

It is a Japanese car thing(for the most part) and I expect to see it on say an RSX, not a Cobalt.

But IMO if you wanted yellow you kept em stock

come on steddy we've been long time cyber buddies..i hate to see u fall into that "i hate everything thats jdm" mode

not to mention yellow cuts the fog better than a bright ass white light reflecting off of it and blinding u

for the most part is = to more than the other...the other being american cars. and seeings how 40s/50s/and most of the 60s american cars had yellow fog lights which is still years before the first cvcc (civic) in 1972, so just because u see it on alot of japanese cars NOW..doesnt mean its a japanese thing.. for the most part or not...


to put yellow fogs on his cobalt is a classic and "american" heritage thing to do..



LOL
