no point doing highbeams, unless you leave them on for extended periods of time - HB's usually flash people or are on for brief periods when roads are empty - it won't work if the bulbs have to 'warm up'

yellow fogs are better because:
they have a lower frequency, so water droplets are less likely to reflect yellow light back.
they more jdm looking LOL

then in your case there is currently a very good deal per below:

but if you want to make it really white then the LED bulbs are your best choice:

if you want something immediately from repco, the narva ultra blue should suit you (but the piaa import would be the best bang for buck)

If you're worried about "colour of fog lights suiting your car", you're obviously one of those people who has them on all the time thinking they look cool. They don't, they just annoy oncoming drivers.

It's illegal to have them on in clear weather, in NSW you can be pulled over for this. You can only use them in rain/fog, so why bother changing them?

exactly that, in which case you should really need yellows to "cut through" the fog better.

it's ok lah, it's only $86 and 2 demerit points

or 4 demerit points during long weekends. the price to pay to look 'cool'

Rule 218-1 (a) Use fog light when not permitted 2 demerit points for $86. so, for red Ps it's all your license gone in one hit during double demerit points.

many years ago, prob in 2003 i got pulled over during a RBT. i had the foggies on and fortunately the cop only warned me. since then i only turn them on during heavy rain and fog. but i still see many drivers having them on during clear weather. some cars are not glarey, but holdens and fords the foggies are very glarey and annoying.
