yeah yours are fine and look cool, but do nothing. its the new holdens and whatnot that are starting to annoy me... maybe i should just put some in too, but havent found housings cheap enough to warrant it, plus its another button to press when someone comes screaming around the corner on a lonesome road (where id use them like high beams i guess... they would look good to fill the gaps but!

yellow fog lights look hawt. i know they r illigal but a study by NASA proved that pepsi cans kill more people then fog lights.

there's a tutorial somewhere on club323f about hooking them up to the flasher circuit

bit more convenient.

they arnt illigal, i just ment for use in normal condition. (when they look best)
apart from once at cootha i dont think iv needed to use foglights. and even then i didnt actully have fog lights

70NYD · 22-06-2010, 11:12 AM

oh ok that makes sense

i saw a few cars in photos that had their high beam lense tinted yellow. thats a pretty good idea IMO cus the only time ud be using high beam is in fog anywho right??

highbeams are actully driving lights that are just stronger and with a wider beam.

fog lights cut through fog. so having yellow highbeams is just taking away the benifits of highbeam (dosent make them fog lights). if you use highbeam in fog it will just make it harder to see as the driving lights hit the fog and reflect back.

and foglight lenses are designed to cut through fog then i guess?? they disperse the light but over a shorter distance?
