    Vag-com'd fogs aren't just for looks.

    Three nights ago we had some pretty decent fog when the temps climbed up near 60 and the snow was melting. I was coming back from some higher elevations in NY and the visibility was pretty close to zero. Speeds dropped to below 30 and luckily the roads weren't busy. Anyhow, I decided to turn off the lights and just run the vag-com'ed fogs and city lights. No, it wasn't the smartest thing due to my stock halogen bulbs but there was no reflection back, so they actually worked well. Just figured i'd share, what I thought was a successful story.

    Now that I have some holiday money, i'm looking into HID fogs, not just for looks but actually use as well... from your personal experiences in weather would it be better to get 3000k(yellow) or 6000k(blueish white) fogs? Thanks.

    3000k for function. 6000k for looks. Yellow light cuts thru fog better where as white light is more reflective.
