Fog light film

[snake420]

I've always understood it as this: Our eyes have evolved under the white yellowish sun and see best in its color temperature range of about 3300K at dawn/dusk to about 4800K at mid day. Tipping the scale slightly towards infared adds definition, and towards ultraviolet we loose it. If you notice on rally cars the pure yellow fogs are only in addition to several regular lights.

Its why OEM HIDs are 4300K and slighty less than pure white. Why some people prefer brown/copper sunglass. And why almost universally warning signs are either yellow, orange or red.

I used yellow laminX precuts for its protective qualities. Svtf's have a tendency get broken fog lights from road debris. Also added yellow bulbs. Looks better in yellow. I would do it on a mk3.

Yellow light also reflects more evenly than white light off of reflective surfaces/objects, whether it be fog banks, raindrops, snowflakes, road paint, or road signs. The glare causes hotspots in your vision, and these hotspots cause your eyes to adjust for the increased light, similar to a camera auto-adjusting for overexposure. While our eyes are much more dynamic than a modern camera, the 'overexposure' does significantly decrease our ability to see anything in the low-light areas in our field of vision.

I live in an area that is overpopulated with deer, and being able to see the deer beyond the edge of the road is critical. It's also another reason why you should adjust your dash lights to the lowest possible setting when driving at night.

Go with quality yellow bulbs, though, and clear film.

I went with clear laminx and yellow hella bulbs, for total sweetness.

I feel as though I have learned so much today

I prefer my lights to be white for aesthetics, but yellow would be more functional/safe.

Lamin-x.com. Fswerks sells it too. LaminX is thick and I feel protects against rocks better.

Leave blue for the "cool kids" and either get ultra white bulbs or get yellow film if you plan on more than the occasional inclement weather drives. I'd do yellow if my Focus was to be driven in bad weather alot but that won't be happening so I'm just planning on better brighter bulbs all the way around.
