Osram nightbreakers are pretty good but nothing is going to look white next to a proper HID light. To get the proper effect you'd need to fit an HID kit to your fogs. This however is a total waste of time and money. Just leave the bulbs as they are. Not worth the hassle given you will only use them a handful of times.

Unless you are one of those people that drive around with them on all the time....

Ive just this sec boght night breakers. As mentioned mine only go on when its really bad but the yellow light they emit was enough to drive me silly.

lumin x then theyre menna be yellow

 

[DrR]

Why do you want these?

 

[Jaake]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always understood fog lights to be more yellow than main beam anyway because it breaks through the fog better.

In the last 3 years I've used my foglights once so it's hardly worth changing the bulbs IMO

 

[Pedro]

Loves it when people deviate from the question.

Night breakers. H11. Bumper off. Done.

Fog lights are not to aid vision, they are to make you more visible to others, well thats my understanding anyway.

They also light up road markings more adequately fu-bie.

This cracker just wants to drive around asda blinding us all.

I find i can see less with fogs on, cos they make the road right infront of my car really bright, and cos of this i can't see as far into the distance.

 

[Pedro]

I generally dont need the fogs on even when it is foggy. Its just a colour difference for me.

 

[Rob]

It might just be my ph1 as opposed to your ph2, but mine light up the road rather well.

You could get pure white smd/led fog bulbs.

And with replacing, you don't need to take of the bumper, just full lock and then pull back the arch lining, reach in & twist. (wear gloves cos i cut my hand open on a piece of plastic)

Not sure on model but ring do some 100% brighter rally spec bulbs

I've noticed "whiter" bulbs make it harder to see in the fog.
I've got HID low and normal High beam, before i got the HIDs I could see more with normal lows but now the HIDs just bounce off the fog so high beam lets me see further, if that makes sense.

I'd go more yellow personally on the fogs.

Fog lights do sod all to help in the fog. It might help you see a little rabbit in the road 50cm from your car but by that point you've hit it

Front fog lights do work in the fog just most people use them for the wrong reason, front fog lights are designed to light up the curbs or edges of the road and also have a cut point in front of you so not to glare the fog back at you, also you should turn off your dip beam but again most people don’t hence why they don’t seem to work as they should, so it boils down to most people not knowing how to use them in the first place, as being older than most of you I can remember when front fog light bulbs used to be yellow to cut thought the fog better and most road users cannot tell the difference between fog and mist, how many road users see a little mist and think they need to put there front and rear fog lights on, trust me when you drive in thick fog they will work for you but most of us will never drive in thick fog but that depends on where you live.

 

[Matt W]

as being older than most of you

Still don't know how to use a full stop?

 

[Seandci]

And the point of your remark is nothing to do with this thread, have you nothing else better to do with your time than pick up on users spelling mistakes :dapprove:
