So there are a few different styles of the foglight that goes with the bumper I have and I can't make up my mind which one I want. If you were buying a set for your car, what would you choose? Why :?:
1) LED - It's really bright, but looks ugly as hell (and most expensive).

2) standard white - It's nothing special, but it's the cheapest.

3) standard yellow - Better than the white, but more expensive too.

4) standard blue - Same as above.

I like number 4, but it all depends on what car (color) you are putting them on.

I think standard white is classiest, but it's up to you man. I was never a fan of the yellow and I'm still not. I understand thats the JDM look though, so you'll probably want to go with that. This is for the S401?

What makes yellow fogs JDM? Most german luxury cars have yellow fogs. Performance wise yellow fogs are the best. And in my opinion yellow fogs look the best. Matching with the headlights can look good too but suck in heavy fog, trust me.

I dunno, everyone on here says stuff about people's yellow fogs being "JDM" style...

Thanks guys for the replies. This is for the Blitzen6 build. My S401 already has foglights. And I have seen more US cars with yellow foglights than here. If anything, I would say the white would be "JDM" since that's what most of them are here.
The color of the "Blitzen6" will be either WR Blue, a custom light green, or just regular silver metallic.

I was going to say most of the pics and videos of japan they all have color matching HIDs

3, or if the led one is the new style that actually projects light than maybe 1, then again im all about practicality, so 4 would be out of the question, so would 1 if its "show" style.

Im always for yellow simply because it cuts through the fog better than any other color and what else do you need "fog" lights for?

lol I voted 3 because It really helps to see at night. we got a really hard rain last night and my 6k's were useless. but in light rain they are ok. Wanted to switch to 3400k's anyways

To cover the holes on the sides of the bumper... :smile:

#4 shouldn't even be a choice for a fog light, blue light is the harshest on the eyes at night, and due to blue having a shorter wavelength it is more likely to reflect off fog and rain and produce glare

Okay, it looks like it'll be either #2 or #3. #3 for all the reasons posted here, and #2 because they're inexpensive (inexpensive is always an option).

I ended up getting the plain ones:

For $50, I just couldn't resist. I may yet get yellow film for them though.
Thanks for your input everybody!
