After having moved into the hills i tend to be driving in fog on a regular basis.
Do the Yellow fog lights do a better job than the regular white globes?

Yellow fog lights

I ran yellow fogs on the Rangie. (IPF's)
I don't reckon they're all that flash. They only seem better when the fog is outrageously bad.
Thing is, generally, when you've got the fogs on you've also got the low beam on. I didn't find the yellow fogs threw enough light to drive by at more than about 40km/h so there was little point.
The last three commuters I've had have all had factory xenon low beam and I find that truly excellent in fog, I think mostly because the beam is so well defined - there's very little scatter that causes glare.

Fog lights should be mounted as low as possible.
The modern beam pattern is very wide with no flare above the cutoff line (top)
Yellow was only used as it was in a part of the spectrum that doesnt reflect too much from water droplets.
Now that beam technology has come a long way white is OK (2500 to 4300 kelvin max. (not blue)
