Default fog light replacement bulbs

so i've been doing some searching and i cant find alot of threads on fog light bulbs, I am wanting to replace my OEM bulbs with some yellow bulbs, Hella Optilux XY is one option that i have seen talked about, hella yellowstars is another one. I would like some opinions on these or any other ones you guys may be using. Also i have been to several local parts stores and nobody seams to care either of these. Is online the only place they are available?
thanks in advance

Online is probably your best bet. Nothing against them I guess but not a lot of members have done them.

Got something against online shopping?

You have my response in your PM. I have the Hella Optilux in 3 vehicles at this time.

Serious question: Why wouldn't you just reply here so we could all share you knowledge? Maybe I had a similar question.

Unless there is a compelling reason to use PM, I would prefer to see discussions on the forum. I often pick up good info from threads where I don't even post. Also, you won't find something through the search function if it's in a PM, but not on the forum.

The OP asked me where I bought mine and what did I think of them. My response was:

"I may have bought them from either ebay or Susquehanna Motorsports; it's been quite awhile.

I find them to be very functional in very bad fog, rain and snow at night."


So you didn't miss much. My bad for not reposting in my original response above.

I find the color of the 2500K and 3000K lamps very helpful in dark, crappy weather. I've tried 5000K lamps in my headlights and tehy simply don't cut it in bad conditions and even with the 2500K fogs, the 5000K are a hinderance. I find the 4000K/4100K headlights and 2500K fogs to be a great mix from functional and safety perspectives.
