Are yellow fog light dated
Hey ls owners I was thinking of getting yellow fog lights, but I'm not sure if they would look dated on my ls so I'm just looking for u guys opinions. Thanks. Also I would love to post pics but I'm not sure how I still consider myself to be a newbie to this forum

as far as i last heard they are still required to have a yellow light either headlight or foglight or something like that ^ ^ ^
i don't think its dated at all but i have them so i may be biased. mines actually look almost greenish and are 3200k hid's i believe. i think it gives off an awesome contrast and would argue that i almost see better with them this color... being able to see more and to have others be able to distinguish that i am approaching better to me is not dated

With the stock 4300K headlights, the halogen fogs have a much warmer look then the headlamps. I think that alone gives it a nice contrast negating any benefit of yellow fogs but that's just my opinion.

Yellow fog lights do not "cut through" any better than a higher temperature light. It's just that yellow light reflects less light when hitting fog.
I personally love the look, and I have 3000K HID fog lights.

I don't thinl ther dated the 3000k hids looks sweet with factory headlights. I'm running them and will never go back. Curently I'm running yellow halo in my fogs one hid bulb blew. The halo are golden yellow while the hids are a greenish yellow like sojah said.

The use of yellow color for fog lights does not improve visibility in fog. The belief that a yellow fog light provides better penetration in fog is based on a misinterpretation of physical laws governing light. Colors of light at shorter wavelengths disperse more easily in interactions with small particles. Longer wavelength colors like yellow or red are less subject to this effect. While this holds true for truly small particles on an atomic/molecular scale, it is not true for objects the size of individual fog droplets (being relatively massive). So for practical purposes any color light is going to penetrate fog about the same. Also of note that in some cases yellow light is produced by putting a filter in front of a "white" color bulb, and in this situation especially a "yellow" fog light is actually just filtered white light and will produce less light than the plain white bulb. And any light with a filter in front of it reduces the emission of light, and therefore could not boost its power to cut through fog.
For fog lights what makes them penetrate is to have them mounted and aimed low - simply because fog tends to hover a couple of feet above the road surface.

I just swapped out my OEM fog lights for the yellow fog lights. I like the contrast off the HID headlights and I have Moonlight Pearl exterior. I dont think it"s dated, I swapped out b/c I really like the look and I really never see anyone with yellow fogs in my area. Go for it.

From reading everyone thoughts, I'm going for it I always thought it would look nice just wanted some thoughts about it. I'll be getting tints in 2 weeks or less so I think im just going to have them do the tints and 3000k fogs also. If anyone knows of a good shop in md around glen burnie area could u list the shop. Thanx everyone
