I'm in San Francisco and I would say that you can use yellow fog in California. If you look at 03-05 Lexus IS300, most of them are using yellow fog lights and i think that was came from dealership.

It will considered to be illegal if you were using the yellow light on the headlight.

I am using Luminics Yellow. I've been using almost one year and there is no problem on the bulbs and it will not show error code on your car.

just go to their official website and order it. they offer one year warranty if I am not wrong.

I'm not a fan of yellow fogs they're too JDM.

I went with HID match white ones. I like the look better at night when I leave the car and the fogs stay on.

I'm running yellow Hoen Endurance 9006 bulbs in my fogs. In fact, they were in my old E46 M3 and when I traded the car in, I took them off and put them in the w203.

They're still running strong and look great.

I had it professionally painted in the same color as the car.

As for the Lamin-X, I don't like that. I don't like how it's yellow even when the fogs are off. I'd rather have the lens clear.

i like the yellow fogs. but dont mess with halogen like others have said, they need constant replacing. you can get yourself a sild 3000k hid kit for like 50-60 bucks and they will SHINE.

ya i just switched out the yellow for 6k HID's FTW they're so effing bright I love it. Although I still like the yellow look. Just I wanted more use out of my fogs and I got none from straight halogen...I may switch back to 3000k HID down the road...
