After seeing that, I like my bulbs better, but it could be just the camera. But on that guy's car they barely look yellow at all. I guess Halogen is best for me in that the dull yellow look offers a better contrast to the HID low beams.

I think they don't look yellow much cause they are killing the camera filtering with how bright they are. The yellow on the ground is where it's at! Can you get a picture of what the ground looks like in front of your car with the halogens?

Sure. I guess for me I was more or less going for "the look" rather then actual increased lighting performance in fog, although I'm sure my PIAAs do better then the stockers. I'll try to get a picture of them tonight.

Thanks, and I agree that they probably do better than the uselessness of the stockers.

You get a pic of the light output infront of your car at night, OP? Thanks!

I ordered PIAA's, it looks like its a bit of a pain to get to the fog bulbs...is it? Does the headlight need to come out on the driver side, it seems like theres a metal bar just behind the bulbs plug.

I was able to do it without removing the headlights from the car, but it does take a good bit of dexterity with your fingers and hands.

I keep forgetting to take the picture of the fogs on, on the ground, but hopefully I'll remember this weekend.

Ya I was thinking about using some rubber tongs or something to help with grip, I dont think my hand will fit behind the passenger side headlight. Ill give it a go though.
