nonetheless, there are many drivers who turn on their foggies in clear conditions cos either: to look cool or no idea what the foggies do / what the light control stalk does (ie: my wife has no idea what each control does on the driver side!)
but personally in the last 10 yrs or so, previous cars did not have foggies :p, I rarely use my fog lights except in heavy fog cos I want to make sure other drivers can see me and not hit me :p
Sorry noob question
With the mtec bulbs it that just plug n play or do I need the balast like the hid kit?

The ones I'm talking about just plug in.
The one that I meant require HID ballast.
oh wow. natt. those PIAA ones are $80!
reckon for the price better to get 3000k hids?
is it really easy to install?
i want to have yellow foggies. but $80 for bulbs?
In terms of yellowness (I want proper yellow not just yellowish) - should I go for the PIAA? The MTEC ones are 'golden' so are they less yellow?
well, PIAA is made in Japan and you get what you pay for, i hope :pQuote:

HID retrofits are too troublesome I think and they'd be chinese made for around $100 something.
these photos show how yellow the PIAA is:Quote:

or cheapest way is just to get a Lamin-X fog lights tintQuote:

but the light colour (with normal bulbs) is not as yellow as the PIAA bulbs.
