Im going to get some foglights for my celica, but i cant decide between white or yellow.
Im leaning towards a set of Raybrig R1300 yellows, (it even comes with a wireless switch), but the PIAAs look cool too.

Yellow works ten times better for foggy conditions. Ever turn on your brights in the fog? That's almost what it's like having white fogs. If you just want to look cool, go with white. If you want lights that actually do what they are meant to do.. go with yellow.

PS- All of this "omg that _____ is so JDM hot!!!" stuff is getting old. fast.

I agree with the JDM stuff but disagree with everything else in this post. Yellow lights help the driver see marginally better in the fog. The thing that makes the biggest difference is the light pattern. True fog lights have a different pattern. The white PIAA lights (and others) are actually "driving" lights - not fog lights. So, if you get those, they won't be a good as the yellows. There are true white fogs out there that will perform very well.

its my understanding that fog lights are diffrent in two ways. First off is the pattern of the beam which is normally wider then that you would find in a driving light.

Second is its color. From what ive been told by teaches back in HS, driving schools and other automotive places is that the color yellow in the light spectum tends to bounce back less when put through water droplets. It has something to do with its frequency or something and/or how human eyes pick it up.

Yeah, that's why it was said in an earlier post that yellow is better for fog visibility and stuff than white. The wavelength of yellow is better for penetrating the moisture. The white may look better and seem brighter at night but for true foglight usage in dust, fog, etc the yellow is a much better choice.

Just don't get "driving" lights, make sure they're actual foglights. They're not namebrand, but Wal-mart carries a set of small round yellow fogs for $14.99. I put them on my Prelude and actually liked them better than any of the other fogs I've had on cars.

Mine are PIAA, and they work great. They split right through the crap known as rain and fog. My passenger side is broken though. The top half of the housing broke off somehow (previous owner) and so he turned it upside-down and covered it with foil. Its much more of a dull yellow than the other one. Maybe I'll replace them soon.

Jay, the difference is pretty far from marginal. I exaggerated about white fogs being like driving with brights, but yellow fogs will definately perform better than white ones, in bad driving conditions. There are several people in this thread that have explained exactly why, so there's no reason for me to be redundant. Simply put, yellow fogs can be found cheap, and they work well due to their color. To get the same performance from a white fog light, you will spend much more money.
