How much does that cut down on your output?

The light output is affected a lot. But its not a huge issue for me, I run them for looks more than anything. The fog lights them self have a lot of moisture in them and I was just going to replace them so I tried this first. If I get suck of them ill just buy new ones.

I have moisture in mine too, but with all the New York pot holes we have here, the bulbs broke, so I was thinking of installing yellow bulbs in them...what do you think ? Not for moisture control, but for looks ect..
