Yellow for sure! I just hooked up my PIAA 540 ion fogs and they perform amazingly well in fog and snow which we have had a ton of since hooking mine up. Huge difference! The color doesn't translate so well in the pic, but they are definitely yellow:
I've had both. I like the yellow a lot, but when I had the whites I used them a lot when driving at night. I liked how they lit up the sides of the road and when turning at intersections.
OK so I understand that the yellow are better in the snow and fog....I don't get a lot of snow or fog so I will use them more in the rain and if I need more light .....so will the yellow work as well.......
I think you probably want a driving light rather than a fog light. The fogs put off some decent light, but not as directional as a driving light. The main benefit of fogs is to cut through the fog or snow in a generalized area but not to light things up bright.
What I learned is that fogs need to be bumper level or lower. The lower the better. Driving lights are typically for above the bumper and are designed to point further down the road in varying degrees depending on the lights..
:cheers:
I run both and the yellows are much better in the rain/fog/snow as suggested, but otherwise they don't get used. The white lights get used all other times. If you don't deal with fog and snow, the yellow probably isn't worth it.
I am buying two sets of lights one driving and one fog. I have owned jeeps over the last 20 years and only had white fogs . I was looking at the Pisa but couldn't find anything on the ionplasma which are yellow iI didn't know how yellow they are .
I rock some Hello 55 watt work lamps that have a fog/flood pattern. They are like $20 each and get the job done well. Oh, They are clear lenses which I find more relaxing on the eyes over the long haul when there is cosistant light everywhere you need it. I have them on 75% of the time my lights are on. No Po-Po or Canadian Mounty hassles.
I saw this compairison of the two.
White light works better on the dead yet relective eyes of zombies and the Yellow gives their skin a glowing quality. So you should run both.
