Thread: White or Yellow foglight?

  1. #1

    White or Yellow foglight?

    What would you guys prefer yellow fog or white fog on a white GTI?
    for more visible in bad weather?

    i'm thinking to pick between these two..
    Yellow 2500k and white will be 7000K

    anyone heard of Nokya?

    Depends on your needs.

    If it's just for looks, then get whatever you like. If it's for actually driving through fog, then yellow is what you're after or else you'll blind yourself.

    I have a pair of yellow Nokya's and they have been great. In the mountains at night they really throw a good beam and colour! The one time I actually found thick fog here in Qld, they were awesome. It's cool to be able to add a nice yellow glow to the lights spread pattern, and to actually have a REAL pair of FOG lights, that are actually great in fog! My vote is yellow! If you are into cycling, a yellow sunglass lens on cloudy / rainy days, and dawn and dusk makes a HUGE difference, so Gregoz is onto something there.

    I've also gone up from the 55w stock in the golf to a pair of 70W Nokya's and it's been fine. Not that I'm a uber cool fog lights always on driver though.

    They look way better than pics at night can show!

    thats right folks.

    the best lenses that you can have when snowboarding in flatlight on a blizzard day with a low cloud ceiling, is a yellow lense. clear wont really help you much unless you want to have headaches afterwards.
