If you don't like the yellow lights (I like them alot) you can remove it. I think zatscha removed it back then, as I remember it was removable from the back. Like a dome pressed into the lamp housing. But don't throw them away!

JokeCro hat geschrieben:Yeah, I thought maybe the yellow coated bulbs would be too much for the factory yellow fog lights. The fog lights are aligned well. I'm thinking about getting the Osram H3 Super, for a little more brightness. Or Osram H3 Laser? What do you think?

If I see it correctly, the H3 Laser is a completely different NightBreaker Model with whiter light and a blue tinted cap. (with less Lumen) That makes no sense for fog lights. They are yellow on purpose, because white light (to be more precise: the blue part of the spectrum) gets reflected more by the fog than the red/yellow parts of the spectrum.
You want reflections of the fog minimized and as much light through the fog as possible. A bulb which is more white/blue doesn't help there.

Additionally fog lights should be as low on a car as possible. (to maximize the angle between drivers exes and the lights, so reflections get minimized also due to the angle) But that's solved well in the GE.

Yes, I understand. That's why I think maybe the best option would be Osram H3 Super?
