Ok this is my current setup

Angel eye - LUX H8
Xenon - Osram 4300k (stock)
Corner Lights - GP Thunder 8500k
Fog Lights - GP Thunder 8500k

So my question is, my car is a TiAG E92 with a clean setup but I find that its pretty hard to match the LUX H8 in brightness/whiteness unless swapping to HID which I don't want to invest that much money on. So I ended up thinking of swapping out the white clean setup and put a little more contrast with pure white AEs and golden yellow fogs, how does that sound?

And also, why do I see some cars have a yellow tint on their fog light housing? like this one below? Does it help with the overall effectiveness of the yellow?



vs




So in conclusion, if I am doing a yellow fog light setup, would I also have to tint my fog light housing or just swapping the bulb?

You could just get the yellow bulb. If you put a tint on it it will be slightly more yellow

if you do yellow fogs do not tint!!!! I personally do not like the tint. I say get a set of 3k HID fogs. That way when they are not on they do have that faded look to them. But then when you turn them on...they are a cleaner yellow

I wouldn't say rice....but it would look real JDM. If that is the look you are going for I say cool. Don't get me wrong one CERTAIN JDM cars is looks good. On some European cars it looks good. I just like the clean, simple, luxurious, look of the BMW, and thats why I would prefer not to personally tint MY fogs. But to each their own

I think Lexus when I see that

Oh I see, I can see a AW or Jet Black car with white AE and yellow Fogs... but I am wondering if that setup would also fit in with the TiAG car.

Yellow and silver don't mix for my taste. Personally i think white or lightly tinted blue lights all around would be better suited for TiAg.

[///M3THOD]

I think that looks great.

[asian010]

depends on your definition of rice. imo no

[335iFab]

Rice? I don't think so, but please get yellow bulbs and not tint it. (personally) i think the yellow tint is out of place

[SoIntoYou]

no to tinted fog light but rather get an hid fog light kit in 3000k instead =)

My thoughts exactly... I prefer a clean look with white/blue lights to make it a icy feeling but the yellow fog makes the contrast - more aggressive looking... but im hesitated to try the yellow fog.

Haha, if anyone has a TiAG with yellow fog lights, please share!

here is a sample shot installed of Nokya 2500k with no yellow tint

i think its only rice if you put the yellow tint on

[E90aL]

not an e92 but
nokya 2500k no film

[bobblehead]

Here is mine. On a 5 series.

Depends on what you are trying to achieve: looks or functionality.

From the functionality point of view fog lights are supposed to be yellow in order to function well as fog lights specifically. Yellow fogs is not JDM look, as someone tried to claim here. Yellow fogs is immediately recognizable classic Euro look. One might call it "retro", but only an ignorant person would call it "rice".

However, you don't have to make it so prominent by tinting the entire housing. It is a matter of taste, of course, but you can always opt for a yellow bulb while keeping the housing clear. I'd suggest you go that way, unless you somehow like the yellow housing look.

[Tee212]

I dont like it personally, when i see yellow fogs in the rear view I think youngin kids with their subbie/civic/s2k/evo/neons coming at me with full force begging to race.
