Default Yellow fog lamps

I attached a link to a very informative article (I think) regarding fog lights. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...fog_lamps.html
I read this gentleman's articles a few years ago and though he says fog lamps can be white or yellow, I prefer the yellow as it seems to illuminate the lane markings better for me. Per the article I only turn the fog lights on in inclement weather.
With that being said, has anyone sourced yellow leds for their foglamps?

A film over the lens will be your best option for changing the fog led color.

That's what I love about this forum. I would've never thought of that idea. Thanks!

Fog lights makes the car look better IMO, rather than function. Although it help widen the radius of illumination for me so there's some function.

Wished there was a yellow option, not golden yellow.

Unfortunately there's no way to just replace the bulb which would be the best way for either of us....but Im sure there are other colors of overlays. Maybe you could try another one and share the results with the community. I think the vinyl costs less than 10 bucks.

Looks like yellow would provide good contrast. I had my first opportunity to use the fog lights this morning. They actually do an adequate job of throwing light to the sides and lighting up road striping and edges. The yellow would give more contrast but the white worked pretty well.. Would you post a link to the new yellow film you found. Thanks.
