I got a set of Nokya's from a local shop, $25. Really bright yellow, I love em. Had em in my previous car also.

I'm glad to see that at least one other person on this forum knows that yellow is the color for fog lights...if you really want fog lights. If you are looking for auxilliary driving lights or something that looks cool...go for whatever color you want...but if you need these for fog...get yellow.

Oh..by the way....you really want JUST the fog lights on in fog...a wide, low yellow flood beam...you DO NOTwant the low beams on or they will just blind you. For some reason known only to the beaurocrats in Washington, I believe this is not legal in the US...so all US cars are wired so the fogs only go on with the low beams. So much for safety...and probably why no one in the US cares if the lights are yellow or not.

Negative, fog lights on the new c class can be turned on without the low beams on.

Tried to take some good pictures, but not working out. Much yellower than pictures show...but here ya go.

I just replaced mine... That was easy! Remember, don't unclip the wiring harness from the white bulb housing and turn clockwise!

Thanks for the tips! Both foglights replaced w/ housings re-installed = 3-5 minutes!

The manual, page 111, states that "To activate the fog lamps, turn exterior lamp switch to position [low beams] first."

Then, the manual proceeds to make a liar of itself, indicating that either the "parking lamps" or the "low beams" can be used to turn on the fog lights.

I just checked this in my garage, and it is accurate. In the "parking lamps" position, the rear fog lamp does not come on.

but... what's the advantage to having yellow lights?

micropower99

What fogs are you using, where did you get them? Thanks

cvkatigbak

get the nokya on ebay. i got them cheap as shi* and no errors. ive been riding with them for well over 3 months now and still awesome. so i hooked up my tacoma, 4runner, and ml with them

micropower99

Thanks for the tip, Do they output the best light in fog?

micropower99

Did you get the 2500K ones? Do they work good in the fog compared to 4500K?

The yellow light does not reflect back to the driver as much as the white or blue light from the low and high beams

myinternetsucks

have you ever seen a Lemans race????? every car in that race is running 3K headlamps! The yellow actually called selective yellow, When blue light strikes water (rain, fog, snow) it scatters in all directions and makes on-road vision very difficult. Blue also is a very difficult color of light to look at if it is at all intense...it stimulates the reaction we call "glare".selective-yellow light is, subjectively, a better color for a fog lamp because the main part of the beam creates the effect of less-glaring backdazzle. The only condition under which selective-yellow light (or any kind of yellow light, for that matter) has actual, physically greater penetration power is in what is called "blue fog", in which the water droplets are many, many times smaller than the droplet size found in common atmospheric fog. A fog lamp is not defined as "yellow", but as a lamp that produces a very wide bar of light with minimal-to-no uplight and a sharp horizontal cutoff, and the determinant of a good fog lamp is amount of uplight (less is better) and sharpness of cutoff (sharper is better), not beam color. Selective-yellow light can improve fog lamp performance, because it is lacking in the high frequency/short wavelength blue light that reflects readily off atmospheric moisture (frozen or not) and into your eyes.

are you guys using the 55w h7 bulbs for the foglights? also when first removing the bulb from the housing does it just pull out with a slight tug or do you have to turn the socket?

who8888

Looks like you have a sport so yes H7, 55W up to you. Twist or not I can not remember. I want to say yes to twisting.

Do you work for Daniel Stern? Or are you Daniel Stern?

myinternetsucks

nope i just do my homework.... these are HID's H7 3000K. DDM Kit

Spec_Davis

damn those are bright yellow. hows the mounting and installation?

ctgilles

Some cutting is required to make the thing fit at the tabs

myinternetsucks

yeah just had to dremmel out the inside of the housing for it to fit. its just a little time consuming, not hard though. The ones i put in are the 35 watt HID's too, they also make a 55 watt version as well. I also added the yellow lamin -x lens cover too protect my fog lens from rocks and chips. lay's potato chips.
