The Best Fog Light Bulbs
The best fog light bulbs for automobiles produce white or selective yellow light. Fog lights are generally mounted low on the front of your car, aimed toward the road. This provides increased illumination of the road surface for low-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow or dust. Fog lights are not a legal requirement and should only be used for low-visibility driving situations. Misused fog lights can produce glare for other drivers as well as excessive foreground glare, impairing your driving vision.
White-Light Fog Bulbs
White light fog bulbs that use xenon gas are durable and long lasting. Further, xenon bulbs are significantly brighter than halogen bulbs. Buy white-light bulbs that do not emit blue wavelengths, as they can cause glare. The PIAA Coorporation makes high-quality white-light fog lights.
Selective Yellow Fog Light Bulbs
Selective yellow light bulbs improve visibility during inclement weather by removing the short wave lengths emitted by blue light. Blue wavelengths cause glare, especially during fog, rain and snow. The PIAA Corporations ion crystal bulbs have less lective white light, however they are considerably more expensive than other market options. More economic options are the Hella Optilux Extreme XY Yellow and the Narva All-Weather bulbs.
Selective Yellow Bulb Coating
If you would like to make your existing head light bulbs into selective yellow lights, you can buy a special coating that will limit the amount of emitted blue light. This is a cost-effective way to achieve similar results with your fog lights.
