capsules, bulbs, or other? that looks nice.

 

i think all white looks awesome.yellow is overboard. but to each his own right???

 

For me, the lights on the front of my car either needed to match the HIDs exactly, or they needed to stop pretending to be "white" all together. I am a big fan of fogs that match the HID headlights, but I ended up going with yellow fogs instead. The stock fogs are a dirty halogen "white," and the effort and cost involved in getting them to truly match the HIDs is too much for me. I decided that if I couldn't get them to match the HIDs within my budget, I would just go yellow. I also got very tired of my clearance/parking lights being the ugly "white" that didn't match the headlights right next to them, so I replaced the stock bulbs with amber bulbs.

 

I want to go yellow on the fogs. I don't want to spend the money for HIDs, so what is considered the best yellow bulb for the fogs? Thanks.

btw-I have the stock halogen headlights.

 

I am rockin yellow and as for Dr.Roy he has projectors in his fogs. Dam him. I have seen them in person and they are bright

 

Roy, you show off....

 

Are new bulbs the best way to go, or is Lamin-X a better way? What does everyone like for halogen yellow bulbs?

 

Yellow Lamin-X will make the fogs look nice and yellow even when they're off during the daytime. At night, they will make the fogs cast a yellow light on the ground in front of the car; HOWEVER, they will look a little pale yellow instead of "very yellow" when you're looking at them head on at night. I have yellow Lamin-X with stock bulbs and NO capsules on my fog lights right now.

I didn't put the yellow Lamin-X on to turn my fogs yellow, really. I plan on using capsules eventually. It's just that my right side fog light lens was slightly cracked, so I decided to put Lamin-X on it, and since I'm going to go yellow later anyway, I chose yellow Lamin-X.

 

does this lamin-x reduce output by any chance?

 

Output is not decreased appreciably. When you first apply it, the installation may not look "clean," but the heat of the fog lights is enough to make the Lamin-X bond to the surface of the lens very tightly and cleanly after a few days.

 

I just got them today they are helios 3000k hids i got them from the other org. I love them im surprised how much stuff was in the box. It wasnt like the other kit just on thing and thats it...it was a lil more involved i liked it quality and compared to the other brand that ivd got $265 shipped 2-3days and i ordered on sunday nice huh

 

Just my $0.02, I love matching lights, yellow is just kinda gross... reminds me of that nasty lemon flavor of Triaminic.

 

Does anyone or has anyone done a HID kit with the capsuls?

 

Where is the best place to get capsules for halogen bulbs?

 

Roy's is the HID with capsules. He told me in a PM a few days ago.

 

you can get the capsules from hidtech.com.

I have seen Roy's fogs in person and they are really bright.

 

Mine are 6000k HID's with the plasma ion PIAA housings and I can use just my fogs to drive at night they are so bright.

 

I've used the PIAA yellow ions with the hid's on my 2k2 as well as the PIAA Super Plasma which match the hid's closely as well. They both have a good look to them but ultimately i decided that I liked the look of the yellows better. Also the yellows provide much more contrast in fog/rain/snow and just for the increased visibility i think they are worth it. Bonus-the PIAA Ions are cheaper then Super Plasmas.

Just to clarify that my fogs are not plasma ion bulbs. I had the plasma ion bulbs and they fuking suked. They ran way to hot and we not all that yellow. My fogs are like I said 6000k HIDs with a plasma ion PIAA fog light assembly.

 

are those PIAAs? cuz on yer car domain it only says PIAA....damn those are bright for regular bulbs

EDIT: nm...u answered my question

 

I live where there's lots of fog, and some experts say that a yellow light helps drivers perceive objects better in these conditions.

In fog and snow, state motor vehicle guidebooks usually tell drivers to use low beams so that light doesn't reflect back. I'm guessing that white/blue HID foglights might be counterproductive...although I think they look cool.

 

it's been known for many, many, many, many years that yellow is the color of choice for the best fog lighting.....

go to Europe and you'll see a majority of cars with yellow fog lights, and quite a few with yellow headlights too! (it gets foggy in Europe alot more often than it does in most areas of the U.S.)

 

has anyone tried luminics yellow bulbs?

i'm getting OEM fogs and these bulbs for x-mas. I did some research and these seem to be the best bulb for this aplication. Not many max's have them but i found plenty of mazda's that did and they looked great! If they do not end up being yellow enough..i may just use the yellow film...i can't open my fogs and drill them...i'll fawk it up

*edit* found link with pics from mazda

I have PIAA Ion Yellow..nothing compared to irish's capsules but just plug and play works for me! Not that i would do such a thing but how bout Trans AM style amber fogs to match the sidemarkers n turning bulbs..wonder how that would look...pics anyone? defeats the whole purpose of illuminating the road but for looks of course.

 

WOW, thats just the bulbs themselves??? No film or anything?

 

from reading the thread..that is just the bulbs themselves. I'm pretty sure that isn't the H3 bulb but thats what i opted to buy because of these pics. I'm seen some on honda preludes as well. They look like they will do the job to me.

 

There is some guy with a 00 or 01 maxima that lives near me that has those lights for his headlights and they are really freaking yellow and look nice.

 

IMO matching superwhite 6000K looks really sharp. For those of you who sport the yellow fogs, doesn't it reduce the whole effect of having the HID white headlights?

 

Driving with fogs on when there isn't any fog/rain/snow actually reduces your effective field of vision. The low wide pattern causes you to look more right in front of the car. So I'm getting yellow, but only for inclement weather (and maybe DRL's when I drive the remote 2 lanes. Been run off the road 3 times in the last 6 months by idiots trying to pass w/o enough room.)

Besides, it's generally regarded inconsiderate to other drivers to drive with your fogs on all the time, no matter how cool it looks. *Ducks before stones are thrown*

 

i have the stock hids with the piaa super plasma fogs and the polarg bulbs on all running lights and i love it and get alot of complements on how "blue" it looks. some don't like the blue, i love it, reminds me of the bmw's and mercedes lights or just a more expensive car in general.

 

love matching hids and fogs. i have piaa plasma fogs, polarg bulbs, looks like more expensive car with "blue" coloring. they do not match hids exactly but certainly close enough and i must be lucky mine have'nt blown at all.

 

yep ,i'm the newbie, sorry guys......wrote first post but did'nt go through so posted again then both posted at same time.
