Default Fog lights
One of my yellow fog light bulbs just blew blew after less then 6 months of driving.
They were cheap so i wasnt expecting much.

Just wanted to know what you fellas use as fogs.

are you using yellow bulbs or do you have the yellow capsules? I use the sliverstars, but they only last 1 year to the week... kinda weird.

Bigwasum, what type of light bulb do you use for the day lights? and i dont understand the 25,000 K fog lights? I didn't even know they came in that. The reason I'm asking is because it looks pretty frickin sick!

me personal i love HID vs halogen better output and last longer on a good kit. But purple is good on a show car but has no output ...ive have stood a stop light standing side by side with a truck who had them i thought they look sick so i turn my off to see the output and it was my that clear the distance vs the truck(fog and headlights) anything over 6000k and pushing is useless for daily use that only my two cent

as for the op 25,000k is the color temperature on which you achieve the color purple

Lmao! keeping it real? thats why every1 else and their mom has the hid headlights and yellow fog light combo. if you were "keeping it real" u would be original about your light mods, not copy what every1 else is doing. You were definitely not the first person to do that mod, so in my opinion Bigwasum is keeping it real.
