Need opinions on my frs :D
 
Consedering getting yellow fog light tint however i have never seen it in person.
How does it look?? Pics please!!

With a white color light bulb and yellow tint, would the output be a yellow or white colour light being emmited?

Ps: I'm new to cars

Personal opinion is I think yellow lights look like shit

I am not a fan either. Comes down to what you like OP. And functionally, wouldn't you be lowering the light output?

I assume so.
With a white/xenon light and yellow tint, would the output be a yellow or white color light being emmited?

Thanks :) do you know what color would be emitted at night with my white bulbs in ? Would the output be a yellowish color

I think white bulbs in a yellow housing may emit just a washed out yellow or just may show a white altogether. I duno if this is a white bulb in the yellow housing or yellow bulb yellow housing. Good question

Looks like yellow lenses. Yellow bulbs in a clear housing doesn't create the same consistent color that a yellow lens or film will provide (in terms of what it looks like with the lights off). Yellow film will reduce the light output slightly, although on fogs probably not enough to make a noticeable difference. In general, yellow (2500k) bulbs will provide more useable light output than a white-blue (6000k) bulb in the same housing. I run 2500k bulbs in my headlights because it creates less glare.

The biggest functional change you can make (without opening the headlights to swap in HID projectors) is using modified H9 lowbeams instead of the stock H11 bulbs. You need to use an adapter or modify the plug, and trim the tabs to fit the socket, but the 10W increase is really noticeable.

I bought white LED bulbs just so that I wouldn't have yellow fog lights. White looks much better imo.

Your eye see's yellow/green the best out of all the colors. You might not get as much light output out of the yellow compared to white lights but you will be able to see alot more detail on the road with the yellow.

Yes you see pot holes fast with yellow I had my Prelude with 3500k hids and I like to drive with them on all the time even in the day time they looked bad ass
