Lamin-x film
 
Ok...I cant decide if I want to do it or not.
ek4 fogs are naturally yellow glass, the sedan ej's are just clear (like mine)

Should I make mine yellow using film?
What do you think?



Right now, Im just using yellow bulbs, but there so much more expensive than the clear h3s (I know, because I just replaced the damn things)

I personally say no... just don't like the look

IALuder 11-29-2005 02:43 PM

doesnt look bad. i thought about doing it to my lude.

why can't you just use clear bulbs w/ clear fog lights?

pdiggitydogg 11-29-2005 04:57 PM

I like the yellow output in wet conditions, I can see a whole lot better

AzCivic 11-29-2005 10:24 PM

really? huh, didn't know that. Always wondered why people had yellow fog lights.

Pretty good for wet weather. I like the yellow man. Go for it.

Fatal070 11-29-2005 11:39 PM

I like the yellow...but pdiggs don't use film...

use that... everyone knows fogs get rocks and other shit shot at them... I wanna get this stuff when I eventually get my fogs for an oem front end :no:

pdiggitydogg 11-30-2005 12:35 AM

damn, that shit costs as much as the entire fog kit!

Yeah, yellow light is best for wet conditions because it doesnt bounce around like blue and white lights, making it best suited for fog use (not driving lights). Lots of cars in Europe have yellow fogs as standard, and its the same reason why in racing, lights are yellow - definition

little science lesson...
red colors (and variations there of) have longer wavelengths then white light and blue light. therefore colors such as red, yellow, orange generally have a better seeing distance in most conditions. thus a reason factory bulbs (no HID) are more of a yellowish/amberish hue and not true white

Blue lights (therefore blue bulbs) have the shortest wavelength of all the colors in the spectrum. short wavelength = shorter distance of illumination.

warm colors = better lighting
cool colors = shitty for lighting :smoking:

Maybe in poor weather, but then if that's true why does every asshole with HID bulbs blind me from a mile away (literally)?

ebpda9 11-30-2005 07:34 AM

GT has spoke :D. why not get some yellow bulbs. i have them in my fogs in the integra. they look clear until they light up yellow.

pdiggitydogg 11-30-2005 09:15 AM

I think its the other way around
warm for definition
cool for distance

HID blinds everyone because its too damn high a wattage and the asses have them aimed directly into your eyes. I swear, HID in an suv is the dumbest thing ever

Im kinda sick of buying expensive bulbs. Like I paid $40+ for the piaa yellows and then another like $30 or something for the hella yellow star h4 mains. Regular white h3's locally are $15-20. In the long run, I'll save money....long run...

CD5Passion 11-30-2005 03:50 PM

this is why I hate people with those blue bulbs. they don't work, sure they are brighter but they dont have the range that warmer bulbs have. HID are different tho. which is why I said "except for HID"
also have to keep in mine that HID's color is warped because of the projector
