Default Yellow fogs vs White...

I have a 00 GS3 with the stock white fogs. The left side has a hole in it from a rock and I need to replace it anyway. My question is, is it worth going for the yellow fog light housings that are in the GB or just replace it with white? I've never driven a car with yellow fogs, but appreciate how my other cars stock fogs provide that little bit of extra light right in front and to the sides of the car.

Really I'm asking which performs better. Does the white or yellow light up the road better? (I understand yellow is supposed to be much better in weather conditions.)

Thanks!

IMO the difference in foglight performance is negligible between the two. The primary difference is cosmetic and color preference - do you like white or yellow?

Default I sort of like the yellow

I'll have to search for a few pics of each and see which one looks and lights better.

Some people prefer yellows because as a combo to the HID's, it makes it kinda like a signature Lexus look. Many people can tell what Lexus HID's and yellows look like from far away.

Like Dave said, it's really just a matter of preference and cosmetics and not performance.

growing up i heard that yellow fogs go through the fog and rain 4 better visiability but i think its just a myth.. i c no difference between the 2...the yellow's r really nice gives the car a nice look....but than again if u get some hid's in the whites fogs it will look sick...i did the double hid look and i love it..but i have got a gs4 with the hid yellow combo and i love that aswell. have fun deciding and let us know....goodluck

Right now I'm leaning towards the yellow ones only because they are on GB for $160.
