Stupid Fog light question

Hey fellas,

Just picked up a 14' SCREW and it has the HID headlights that I love, however, the fog lights are still the ugly yellow.

Is there anything I can do to bring the shade of light that the fog lights throw out to closer match the nice headlights?

Thank y'all.

-Dennis

You might find Silverstar bulbs that would be direct replacements. They have a much whiter light than standard bulbs.

-9140 or 9145 SS Ultras ( ~4,000K )
-TRS XB Led fogs (~5,000K)
-JW Speaker Led fogs (~5,000K)
-Putco/Vled, etc 9005 Led bulbs (glare city) (5-6000K)
-PnP HID's (GLARE city) (~3-infinity K)
-TRS Mini or Matchbox H1 HID projector ( ~3-6,000K, potential fer QUAD bi-xenon, truly awesome output )
-BMW X5 fogs (~5-6,000K)

BTW - yer heads are 4300K, the OEM fog bulbs are ~3200k

For fogs lower Kelvin is better fer all-condition visual acuity.

Has any of y'all with the upgraded fogs ever driven through some really thick fog and noticed a marked difference? What about putting some really bright yellow bulbs in there? I know for a while France required yellow headlights and fog lights because of the thick fog the coastal areas can have. I'm not sure how much it really helped vs how much of it was just the French being difficult.
