I'm sure it would be fine with just the yellow tint, but I'm looking for that deep yellow look and am planning on using both. That's just me though....

I already ordered a roll of yellow tint the other night lol it was only 6 bucks, guess I'll have extra lol

Do yellow fog lights work any better than clear ones when compared to the OEM bulbs inside?

I'm wondering if any studies have shown a yellow lens to be more effective at actually "cutting" through fog. I ask because the area I live in has some super dense fog at times and I need my fog lights to be functional.

Thanks!

Nice thing about pre-cut, just apply and go!!!

No need to remove fogs are create a template for the cut. No need to cut...
You still got the link to the product or seller?

Found a set of pre-cut yellow foglight vinyls. I think they look pretty good at night with stock fog lamps.

I had 2500k non hid fog lights with the yellow overlay and it looked really good. I took them off when i got HID fogs because I went with 6k. The overlays look real nice though

I use to have an article on this, but couldn't find it. We get some pretty heavy fog in my area. I can tell you with the yellow film/3k HID's I had on my IS300 yes I could really notice. It got to the point where I would turn off my headlights and just use my fogs early morning.
