2003 m45 fog light choice

[kp1]

Hey everyone what is the best fog light that you would recommend on a ivory pearl m45 I have one out and deciding whether or not to keep the standard yellow or I was thinking to put a all white fog lights anyone got any suggestions where I should buy and what color thanks in advance

Color is something that is up to you. I think white fog lights are even more useless than the yellow ones (which already don't do much). Yellow cuts through the fog lights better.

Otherwise, read the FAQ thread to find out what bulb you need and have at it...eBay, Amazon, HID, LED...there is a ton of into out there and on this forum.

Because fog lights are aimed slightly downward, white fog lights can reflect back up into your path and the eyes of oncoming drivers. I agree with Ilya. Seems lots of 'experts' claim that yellow (3000k) fog lamps do the best job of cutting through heavy rain and fog and they cause less glare. I use PIAA plasma fogs which I believe are around 3000k. In Florida we never get fog, but these seem to do a decent job illuminating the painted lines on the road in heavy down pours. Some people use the fogs as DRLs or for extra light while driving if they don't have DRLs. I only switch them on for heavy rain as I already installed DRLs that run 24/7 when I'm on the road. I recommend PIAA fogs.

Sorry, I should say fog lights are useless on THIS car. They are some of the worst fog lights ever. I had a Maxima with MUCH better fog lights. I use them as basically DRL's and for looks and run 3000k look-a-like halogen bulbs. ALL of my lights are on 24/7.
