Yellow fog lights?

[cboisits]

I always wondered, why do a lot of people change their fog lights to yellow? I don't mean to offend anyone who likes them. That's certainly not my intention. I'm must wondering if there's better visibility? Or is it just cosmetic?

Better visibility during thick fog or heavy rain.

Better visibility in snow

science behind that is longer wavelength of the color scatters less by fog droplets, providing better visibility/light penetration

ngl, I did mine for the aesthetic. Not much fog here in Vegas

The intent of selective yellow is to improve vision by removing short, blue to violet wavelengths from the projected light. These wavelengths are difficult for the human visual system to process properly, and they cause perceived dazzle and glare effects in rain, fog and snow.

To top this off, the yellow color of light spectrum wont tire your eyes out like the blue color over a long period of time.

Yup better visibility like everyone said but I also did mine mainly for aesthetics

I'm running pink now I think I'm going to be making the switch to yellow in a little
