Yellow fogs
I will admit to being a Honda man a while back, as I had a 4 wheel steer Prelude of '89 vintage. It was a very good car although not quite in the same league as our cherished A8s. That was the only car that I'd owned that had proper yellow fog lights, installed at the factory. I did think that I'd be able to change the 'yellow' bulb for a white one but if I recall correctly from memory, there was a yellow glass diffuser or something within the foglight itself and a standard white light foglight bulb. I only had the two options of either sticking with them as yellow, or replacing both foglights. I couldn't be arsed with the expense to be honest!
With regard to the CREE LED foglights, there's certainly nowhere near the same sort of light output compared to the standard halogen H3 bulbs so they now look more like positional lights instead of being vaguely useful. The original filament bulb that failed in one of my foglights didn't appear as a warning on my dashboard though? The car only seems to warn me if a brake light or similar goes bad.
Interesting to know about the light scatter with yellow fogs, proving the old adage true once again - you learn something new each day :-) I've attached some pics of my old Prelude - wheel buffs will hopefully notice the beautiful Antera 123 alloys which cost me £2,216 shod in Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres - ouch!
