What's the best yellow fogs??

ive been researching, trying to find the best yellow fog lights brand for my money. I have one cracked OEM fog on my TL now. Instead of buying a brand new one for 251.00$ dealer price.. I'm wanting to buy a new set of fogs. Anyone have any idea what I should go with?

Cracked foglights are very common on Hondas. You can replace the lens (if that's what you cracked) with Lexan or something similar:

If you're going to do go the LED route instead of HID I have a suggestion. I went through all this brainstorming in the spring. I had enough with my Morimoto setup, enough problems. LEDs have gotten good now but it's just that there are hardly any 3000K options.

After trial and error I found perfection. The Nokya 3000K lime-yellow LEDs. Yea they aren't QUITE as bright as the HIDs (maybe about 75% as bright) and they aren't cheap ($120), they are worth it. The color of the beam is pretty much exactly like u see above in that RL pic. I don't like that golden orange-yellow look. These are like a high lighter yellow a tinge of green in them. I get asked a lot about them because they look so unique. I was so happy to chuck my ballasts, relay etc etc and plug n play these cool running LEDs. Love em.

I agree. Id love to ditch my HID fogs. Just too much bullshit going on with Ballast and wires and stuff. Those lights sound sweet rocky. post a pic!id jI

If you dont want to go LED , Id just do 3000k bulbs And put yellow film over the lens That should get you a extreme yellow look

The main issue I have with 3000K HID bulbs is that they are coated with crap. With heat these color shift over time. You end up with one headlight that looks nice with a bright yellow, slight tinge of blue. Then the other will be a deep gold pee yellow. The mismatch makes your car look like crap. And no these were not EBay bulbs, Morimoto stuff, supposed to be decent. My complaints to them got me shrugged shoulders.

Well I was looking around, kinda playing around with the idea of getting the JDM accord fog light assembly. They look like they give the TL a more aggressive look. I found some for 135$ that already have yellow tint or you can get smoked/clear lenses as well. If I go that route then I probably will do Morimoto bulb in 5000k with yellow tint would give me a good light output. If I go with HID then I can stick with whatever bulb socket is in the fog already providing it won't get too hot. I might be able to get away with that. If I go with LED I will have to modify the bulb socket and switch to an H11. Also was just thinking about buying a pair of fog lights from the retrofit source and then applying the yellow lense tape stuff.

Personally I am not a fan of yellow lenses. I think of that rally car look, not something I am going for. I like all the lenses clear to keep the car looking clean and the bulb to emit the yellow. But of course everyone has a different look they are going for.

If you are going the LED route I don't think you need to mod anything. They fit H11 and many others. Nokya Hi Power LED Fog Light Bulb for H8 H9 H11 Hyper Lime Yellow NOK9618 | eBay

BTW if you're looking for a set of OEM Accord fogs just PM me, I have a set FS.
