[QUOTE="Traveler, post: 401286, member: 7248"] So it looks like my options would be: 1 - Change to white fogs (4300K) that match my xenon headlights - better for pitch dark night, but not great for heavy rain/low visibility 2 - Change to amber/selective yellow - great for heavy rain/low visibiilty but not great for pitch dark night 3 - stick to halogen fogs but switch to higher output bulbs - compromise between #1 and #2. I'm now trying to think of when I would be driving in conditions similar to #1 and #2. #1 - usually when going outstation - not very often; can see it useful if driving at night on NSE (outside of KL-SJ area), or up to Cameron especially via Simpang Pulai, etc. Usually when this happens the dark road conditions will last quite a long while >1hr or more. #2 - when it rains heavily - quite often given our weather; I ignore foggy conditions because in my lifetime, only encountered heavy fog 3x in Malaysia, all 3x at Genting peak. That also, the fog not as heavy as I have encountered in Europe/NA. So what do others think? [/QUOTE]
