Can't stand the yellow fogs... one of the first things I changed.

Always looks like a '78 BMW 320i coming at you. Maybe I can find
a Kennington shirt, a Members Only Jacket and some aviator
sunglasses to complete the 70s look.

I think the yellow fogs are a trademark of Lexus vehicles (or they used to be). The only way I would do the clear fogs is if I was going to use the 3000K Fogs, which would make the light yellow.

Apparently the yellow fogs are worse then the blue film fogs. 70% vs 80%.

I had yellow fogs in mine, but one gave out. Looks like I might get the blue film ones for better practical applications.

Still debating 'cuz I'd have to replace 2 bulbs if I go for the blue film, or just have to replace one for the yellow bulb.

Hmm.

You do know no matter what bulb you put in your fog lights, it will still be yellow, right? Unless you install a strong blue, then they will be green

When I first turn on my 6000k HID fogs in my yellow housings, it looks green untill it warms up and then it turns yellow. Kinda cool since my car is IJM.
Btw, OP, I did not read all 4 pages, but if you do a search you will find this has already been covered in the lighting section with a poll.
Try this.
