I know its not the best pictures, but I personally like yellow fogs. I have tinted my fog, and added 3500K HID.

Allllrighty then! I ordered some PIAA plasma ion yellow 2500k fogs today. I've been on the fence about what to get, but my friend's STI looks absolutely awesome with HID headlamps and yellow fogs. I went with PIAA because in comparison to Nokya, they seem to be a much better quality light instead of just a yellow bulb. I'll post pics once I receive them and they're installed.

I just mounted and wired up my 3k hids yesterday with an hid relay harness. Still need connect the mini add-a-fuse and splice into the foglight switch on the stalk to make them independent. Hopefully I should have this done by tonight.

It's not hard. Just might take a while with removing panels and securely mounting stuff. You can follow donnieb's thread. You need maybe 20$ in parts only since you already have hids

I had a set of Nokya yellow's and one of them burnt out in less than a week. I'll be ordering another set here soon; they're cheap enough. Hopefully it was just a bad bulb.

I vote yellow though, always love that in fogs.

I would definitely do the white ones. They are closer to the brightness of the headlights. And personally I think that the yellow is ugly. I also think it would be weird to have the yellow mixed with the blue headlights.

That's what I did. Even a silverstar bulb matches enough that it looks cool. Yellow may illuminate better in rain, but white looks better all the time.
For super cool, do HID fogs. Not hard to do, and look really good.

I'm assuming from your name that you are in E-Town, so you have no shortage of snow and rain there! The white may look cool, but you're at a disadvantage when the weather turns south (Oct-May) lol.

Update:

Here are some pics I took of the new fogs. I'm really happy with them. The colour seems to be purplish at the bottom, yellow in the middle and bluish at the top. They seems to blend into the headlights pretty good. I added some pics to another thread someone had started but I wanted to add some different ones here too.

i'm switching to nokya hyper-yellow for the fall/winter/rainy/fog/snow season..and switch back to white HOEN 'xenon-match' for spring/summer.

I know they're not HID bulbs but they get the job done.

.. pic from my former ASM 08 with Nokya hyper-yellow halogens:

that output looks great! might have to switch out my xenon match ones for these...been feeling the yellow lately and it gives what seems to be better output (xenonmatch was a little less output than oem)

Who has blue headlights??


I have two sets of fogs from Hoen. The yellow Endurance and then the white. I switch them up from time to time.

That's not true. The 4300-5000K rating is the brightest (and why it's most manufacturers preference). K refers to Kelvin, a temperature, therefore a Temperature rating of 0 would be the brightest light (using your logic), but that would contradict itself as no light would be emitted from no heat/temperature being generated.

^ agreed. 5000k is pure white to my knowledge. Lower than 5000k the yellower it gets, higher than 5000k it becomes more blue then purple with 10,000k + and eventually green?
