Thanks for the feedback guys. Appreciate it.
So, yes, I wanted to update the bulbs for aesthetics, and I also found the bulbs currently in there are not very bright. They don't add much to the road compared to my last vehicle.
Regarding yellow... well, if the white ones reflect back and glare off weather in a distracting way, I'll reconsider. Maybe instead of getting a 5000K-6000K light, I'll get one of those 3400K Philips which are still whiter than what I have now, but not as much.
Regarding fogs. I use them for two purposes... one, I use them as DRLs sometimes, just general aesthetics.
Second, I drive in weather. I drive in bad weather. I chase storms (for snow and wind) when the weatherman is telling people to stay off the roads. It's one of the reasons I have this vehicle and choose my tires carefully when it's time to buy. On those days I travel with water, blanket, tow strap, flashlights, sleeping bag, shovel... all the stuff so if I do happen to get stuck, I can wait it out without it being an issue. And in those conditions, I need the fogs.
High beams just glare back at me off the falling precipitation. The low beams are better than nothing. And the fogs really do work (for me) to light up the lower road in front of the car. And the side road reflectors as noted above. They don't project far, nor do they need to, but they let me see where I'm going.
What we really need are dual bulb LED fogs! Then you can switch between white for DRLs and aesthetics, and bright yellow when it counts!
Good discussion.
Still curious what folks have replaced and how they are working for you. I'll look for that yellow fog review thread that was mentioned.
