Default Yellow fog lights! What do you think

I have always want either yellow head lamps of fog at the front of my car, and now I got them on my 940.

Brought yellow tint and wet fitted 'em to the fog section of the head light.

Looks good with DRL and got the retro french look! might be a good reason to have yellow fogs but think these tint might not be emitting the right type of yellow light.

retro top gear did a spot on it way back:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vArQgTQVYcw

Default I like yellow

I hate blue tinted lights. I find I can see far further better and more clearly with a yellowish tinge than a blue-ish one.

Always a big yes to yellow and amber lighting in any shape or form from me!

Thumbs up

Same here, I think I'm one of few who like my indicators not to be clear, just look at E36 M3 clear side indicators now look so dated and amber ones look the best IMHO. But like what you did on the 960 Abe with U.S. spec with hint of amber, feast our eyes on these babys

I sold a set of Raydots with covers, one yellow, one white on Ebay last year, got very little for them, wished I'd kept them now tbh
