which hyper yellow fogs get too hot?

I'm looking at these fog lights:

Luminics JDM Yellow
Nokya Hyper Yellow
PIAA hyper yellow

Which ones get too hot to leave on for the whole trip? Let me know based on your experiences.

Also, these won't blind anybody will they? The pics look really bright.

thanks

As long as you're moving, the wind should keep the fog lights cool enough. Just turn them off whenever you get stopped for a while.

The only one I heard of issues with was Nokya. But if I were to go with one of them, I'd probably go with Nokya. Piaa is nice, but expensive.

Fog light housings are designed to disperse light. There's no cut-off, so it may or may not blind oncoming drivers.

I've got Hoen's, supposed to be quality stuff (I paid almost $50 shipped for my set). I had one fail on me over six weeks ago and they sent me a new one (1 year warranty) but because of the lousy weather and my busy schedule I didn't have time to install till this past saturday..

Honestly, I'd recommend HID's at this point in the game. ddmtuning.com has H11 HID kits for $40, a coworker bought a set and honestly these are pretty freakin sweet!! I'm going to run these Hoen's for a while to come because it'd be too much work for me unbolting my front bumper to install the HID kit, but maybe once the summer's here I'll change my tune.

hahaha, it IS funny.

Anyway, I am kind of cautious about this heat issue. I would love hyper yellow fogs, but I can't chance heat problems. Also, high-output halogen bulbs burn out fast as we all know. I'm starting to think 'nevermind' on this.

Although many are against this, I think I might try LEDs for aesthetic purposes. I know they don't illuminate the road, but I don't feel my OEMs put out enough light anyway for me to worry about loosing their functionality.
