Fog Lights
I am looking for opinions on yellow bulbs in S197 fog lights. Anybody out there have them? How do you like them? I have Silverstars now, which don't really match my HIDs anyway so I am thinking about going to yellow, which is supposed to work better in the fog anyway. Can you help a brother out?

RE: Fog Lights
Make sure they are the same wattage and the bulb looks the same as the OEM (bulb imension, length and width etc.). If not, the bulb shrouds (metal ring around bulb), will come loose from excessive heat. You also risk melting the plastic chrome reflector of the housing. This happened to me when I put the wrong bulb in (same H10, but slight differences in bulb length and wattage).

RE: Fog Lights
I had some bulbs (32 watts) that ended up messing up the metal inside the fogs. Got 3000k HIDs and haven't had a problem with the metal ring, only prob is the housing on the driver side keeps burning up.
