Fogs: Yellow glass, yellow bulbs, or both?

b0yd07 · 07-19-2007, 03:19 AM

I'm thinking about buying the K2 motor fogs off of ebay and I was wondering what yall thought about the yellow glass. How does that work out?

Would a yellow bulb be better? Maybe get the yellow bulbs and the yellow glass...? idk

I want yellow because soon or someday I'm going to be getting HIDs for the driving lights and yellow is in it's own field. I won't have to worry about getting HIDs for the fogs to match the regular headlights. I thought it would look kind of strange with good looking crisp lights up top and then the slightly yellowish things below. Might as well go all the way...

While I'm here would anyone just like to to quickly mention the size bulbs those k2 motors fogs take?

clear fogs with yellow bulbs.

06blaksi · 07-19-2007, 03:14 PM

Clear lens * PIAA Plasma ion yellow bulbs

b0yd07 · 07-19-2007, 06:23 PM

06blaksi, those look great. That's exactly what I'm aiming for on my car.

K2 Motors doesn't have any clear fogs for the coupe any more, so I guess I'll get some from another ebay seller. They're all the same thing right?

Those bulbs are expensive though. What size do you need for the civic fog lights? And they're not going to die in a year are they?

give k2 a day or so. they'll have some clear ones back up. same thing happened a couple of weeks ago when some people were looking for yellow but they only had clear.

as for bulbs im using nokya hyper yellow h11 bulbs and have held up for the past 7 months. under $25 on ebay

Those are like $60 dollar bulbs...

The Nokya's are $15 but they're 80 watts.

I don't know what to do. I am convinced though that I need a clear lens with some yellow bulb. I just need help finding a bulb.

I got a deal on the bulbs since they were used but I recommend them! Maybe another pic or two will help ya out

I've got the k2 fogs(clear) with yellow bulbs, I went to k2motors(which is called spec-d tuning) and they had some yellow bulbs to replace the white ones. It looks clean and the yellow color looks great at night. I would recommend that setup.

**Yodums** · 07-20-2007, 02:22 PM

As mentioned, I'd go with yellow bulbs and a clear lamin-x film for protection. That's my plan, but I'm still on the fence of whether or not to get yellow bulbs.

**Tim** · 07-20-2007, 02:36 PM

I'm going with yellow projector lenses and I'll soon be getting my yellow HID bulbs. So yes, it's yellow overkill.

CANMAN · 07-20-2007, 02:47 PM

I would say OEM clear fogs with yellow lamin-x. There are a couple advantages to this I think:

A: You lense is protected so the glass doesn't break like everyones had with plain lenses.

B: You can utilize stock fog bulbs and it will give you intense yellow light output.

C: You don't have to worry about spending 60 bucks a clip for cheap yellow fog bulbs that will most likely burn out in ummm about 6 months.

Just my .02 cents, I am currently running OEM clear fogs with blue lamin-x. No breakage problems or burning.

I had the Yellow Laminx at first but when I cleared my lights it didn't go well. It was also a bitch to take off.I ended up breaking the lens when I removed it
Next step...projector fogs

b0yd07 · 07-20-2007, 03:07 PM

The thing is I'm not sure how hot a yellow lens will look on GG while it's off during the day.

Maybe clear lamin-x on a clear lens with a yellow bulb. Still, though, I need a bulb.
