Yellow or amber fog lights.

Phi;l,
you can buy ipf fog lights off arb for the bar which are yellow or amber depending on how you see the world.

I will never know why these new vehicles have clear lenses in fog lights. Maybe they know something we don't.

Hi Phil

Ahh fog lights
I was originally told that yellow penetrated fog better and the light reflected back from the water droplests (fog) was less glary, however clear lenses are better to look at because it doesn’t clash with the car colour scheme. Hence as they became a fashion accessory instead of a driving aid, clear became dominant. There were also issues with the yellow fading when applied as a surface treatment instead of actually being yellow glass.
This would appear to mean that us older folks who can’t handle glare as well as youngsters would be better off with yellow.
Can I ask Phil,what you want them to do?
Reason I ask is that fog lights are meant to be used at low speed without headlights and they are intended to shine under the fog. Fog usually sits 30 to 50 cm above the road surface and the lights are meant to be mounted low so that they shine into that space. That is why they have such a wide beam with a sharp cutoff control upward light.
Most of what I see on 4x4 bullbars are mounted too high to be fully effective without causing excessive reflection off the fog. I do understand they will get smashed if you have them under the bar.
If you want them to provide additional close in and cornering light on slow windy stuff then perhaps the colour is irrelevant?

What are your thoughts

Andrew

Phil,
I just had a look around and there are some H7 55w ones on ebay.

Foglight bulbs

Also you can get them out of the states manufactured by Nokya Korea. There is a distributor here in Australia with a name something like blinglights which sort of puts me off.

Here is one out of the states. Nokya yellow bulbs
