Yellow lights look like garbage on a stick.

I use 2500 for my foggies and it looks sweet with the 6000k main lights.

Yellow light is actually more usable in adverse weather than white or HID light. It will not output as much, but it will make the road in front more visible.

I was saying that everytime I see a car with yellow headlights I want to throw a rock at them. I couldn't care less about output.

Sorry, guess I confused luminics with lamin-x. I have Luminic yellow DTR and HB bulb though. But I use them.

It's all good. I was just checking the DIY and it seems that the fog setup is pretty extensive, and I can't take off my front bumper, mainly because I haven't before and I'm good with things, but I don't have the time to figure it out on my own I'll take those laminX covers though if you're not going to use them. I'll get fogs eventually

If you don't have fogs yet, just get yellow ones. Then you don't need to bother with the film.

I have them in the low beams and anything that has floresent paint on it lights right up I see signs 2 blocks down lit up. [Love them] In the High beams I installed 4750K daytime running lights are nice and white not yellow. Love the combo.

'06Siguy, are you're still trying to give away the luminic vinyl film things? I got fogs recently and have been planning on buying the film to protect them... still haven't gotten around to it.
