Yellow fogs vs White fogs (bulbs)
Which one is better? and I am talking bulbs not painting the glass.
I have read through a bazillion forums and websites trying to figure which is better. I dont have great night vision so i wear my glasses, but i still dont see as well as i would like.
So, which do you guys recommend. I am thinking of going with yellow to cut through the fog and use for my snow trips as the yellow will reduce snow glare...
However, I have always used white and when i didnt need them for the fog they seem to light the road a bit better, but recently the fog seems to be worse and the white fogs just dont help the situation.
In about 2 weeks my commute is going to have an hour added to it each way, and additionally a majority of my commute now will be done at night, in the fog/rain. Hwy 101->116->37->80 and reverse. And unfortunately a majority of my commute change will only be during the winter months with the rain, fog, and snow.
I have already decided I am going to go with PIAA headlights, the intense white headlights but am stuck between intense white fogs or the ion yellow.

For visibility in fog, rain, snow and other poor conditions the yellow bulbs will be better.
As for headlights, the "superwhite" bulbs with blue coatings should be avoided as their "whiter" light actually has more blue content and glare than standard non-coated bulbs. In poor weather these bulbs will be worse than stock.
