Yellow Fogs + yellow bulb

I picked up a yellow fogs at toofast today. I was planning to get yellow bulb with it too but the store clerk said it won't look good because it's going to look like orange. he said to get a nokya 5k bulb/clear white instead.any opinion?

I suggest listening to him.... Yellow lenses + yellow bulbs is too much yellow!

Buy Nokya, I have a set of h4 bulbs and they work excellent!

Absolute nonsense.
A. Be aware of toofast product quality.
B. I've seen yellow fogs with 3000k hid kit, looks amazing.

Also, I don't know exactly, but usually the fog light bulb is an H-3 style bulb.

yellow lenses + yellow bulbs looks great to me. the whole point is for them to be yellow, so you really can't go "too yellow." i don't want any of that half *** yellow like my **** after 6 beers. i'd go 3000k's in the yellow lenses if you want that look.

^^ incorrect. The brightness has nothing to do with the colour. 4300k is the closest colour to natural sunlight therefore your eyes will see the most. Brightness is measured in watts. There are 35watt and 55watt kits.
Damn it mugen, you are always wrong, just go drive your ek and be quiet.

huh? where did you hear that? There is nothing illegal about 55watt bulbs. Show me where in HTA it says its illegal to have 55watt bulbs and ill give you an e-cookie.
Also, how is the way your eyes register objects in a lit place the same as the brightness of a light? They are completely different things.

never said 55w bulb. said 55w hid kit, lol ask that hid vendor on here.

and about the way the eye registers light and what not.
does it not make sense to produce the most visible light to the eye?

A. Don't believe everything you hear online. Wtf is the difference between 55watt hid kit and 55watt bulb. Also way to read stuff online and post it.

B. Seeing more is NOT the same as how bright the light is. How many times do I have to repeat myself. Light output from a 35w kit let's say is the same from 3000k kit and 16000k kit. Granted you won't see as much but the light output is the same. 4100k is the ideal temperature so your eyes are most comfortable with the light.

I just hate when people use non interchangeable terms as if they are the same or pretend to know what they are talking when they really don't.
