New fogs, yay or nay?

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 03-15-2011, 12:05 PM

I just installed the Nokya 2500k halogen bulbs for my foglights. I previously had Mtec Cosmos Blue bulbs. I'm definitely getting HID fogs in the future, but these are my temporary ones. What do yall think?

Nokya's on the left, Mtec's on the right.

CaliE90 · 03-15-2011, 01:17 PM

mtecs. If you have the money, get a HID setup for the fogs that matches your d1s. Get a corner delete and you'll be golden

I like the contrast of the nokya yellows. Where did u get them?

Spydeputy · 03-15-2011, 02:51 PM

My vote is go with the yellow fog lights. I like the contrast too. But WOW, look how clean you keep your garage floor. It's awesome.

Spydeputy · 03-15-2011, 03:54 PM

LOL, I did see the drain, brush, coin machine, etc.
If you go yellow , go 25K.

RioGrandeValley · 03-15-2011, 04:41 PM

Yellow much nicer!! You've got PM.

utfenix335i · 03-15-2011, 05:47 PM

Yellow looks good as a contrast but I love em bright. I'm torn myself. For your car, the Yellow would look hot.

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 03-15-2011, 09:59 PM

Thanks for your feedback guys, I got them from eBay.

Quisp · 03-18-2011, 12:31 AM

I had yellow HIDs in my last fogs and and getting a set to put in this car. The yellow really helps see things better without losing depth perception like the blue will sometimes do.

The yellow fog light looks cheap on your bmw so so ugly make your car like a Japanese style (><)

but all OEM BMW fog lights are yellow. IMO i think the yellow one is better than white

Quisp · 03-20-2011, 10:37 PM

Guess a lot of it comes down to whether you are going strictly for cosmetic or function also. Once you pass the 4300-5000 range the light appears bluer and as it get s bluer you will lose some depth perception and not be able to judge distances as well. The bluer light "flattens" things.
The 3000k give a similar effect as looking throughh shooting glasses with yellow lenses.
Another thing to consider is the bluer light makes your eyes tired quicker.

Yellow.
True fogs are yellow so that gets my vote.
