Do I or don't I?

I might just do the fogs if I am honest. I think they would look ok with it on, but the shape and size of the main cluster makes it a bit too in your face.

Google lamin x prelude and there is your answer.

Had a peek at Lamin X as a clear solution for sure.

I think that's the best way.

The whole yellow being better for light output thing is a myth in case that's what you're thinking.

Depends on conditions. I have yellow fogs and in dull weather the light reacts better to the cones in your eyes at night. That's why street lamps are yellow for all weather conditions.

Update for ratty: uk street lights are yellow because our cheap ass government wont spend on real modern lighting and replace the shitty ancient sodium system. Go to northern europe and tell me they choose bright white mercury lighting because you see less. And its not so much that yellow light react better with your eyes its that yellow filters out all the red and green, thus reducing your sight to the level of carnivorous predator, this gives you better contrast distiction and movement recognition. Thats why shooting glasses are also yellow filter.

As to the pee coloured headlights? no.

Yep. Sodium vapour lamps, photons emitted from sodium ~590nm. The whole fogs-are-yellow-for-better-vision thing was discredited some 60 years ago.

Also night vision is almost entirely from rods, which while do not 'see' colour, are more sensitive in the shorter wavelength of blue-green range at 490nm ish. Night vision shifts from red spectrum to blue for this very reason.

Cones are pretty much nothing to do with night vision. But your cones are most responsive to yellow-green in daylight (see LLL's carnivore comment).

Personally, I would say no to the whole headlight being yellow.

But you can try and do the fog lights in that yellow tint.
