| i think u can get away with either one, you dont need both, it would be over kill i think, and might wind up with less visibility. I was looking into yellow fogs like the Lexus cars. People use yellow bulbs, yellow film or even HIDs; I think they were like 3100k HIDs which emits yellow light. So i guess for best visibility id probably go with a 3100k HID kit. If only i had money id slap some HID yellow fogs on the accord to contrast the pink/purple HID low beams | |

| so you just want your actual lense yellow? or your light? if you just want the lighting id go with the Nokya Hyper Yellow bulbs. under $30 for a pair and you'd be surprised at how well they light things up in shitty conditions. i have them on my car right now and im actually happy with them in fog and rain (never had snow with them on).
otherwise i hear laminx works for just putting a film around your lense.
on a sidenote: the hyper yellows i believe are rated around 2500k.

| online, usually film at local stores suck.
as for yellow lights my normal lights burnt out. i just went with yellow since it made sense to me at the time (shit weather) and i watch too much 12hr sebring and all types of GT enduros. so when i see yellow lights i think of the gt class cars....... then it turns out to be a lame fwd car usually

| I would like the light projected to be yellow and the headlight cover to be yellow as well. I don't have fog lights in this car.
How is the night visibility with the yellow lights?
What's the difference between these two?: Luminics JDM Yellow Nokya Hyper Yellow
I noticed the wattage output difference, how does that impact the bulb?
THANKS GUYS! | |

| I have them on my Accord right now. In normal conditions visibility in normal condition is a little bit darker than my OEM lights but in shitty condition it helps out alot. | |
