Light question from the newbie

Very new to the 4Runner world. What is the value in adding the yellow lights? I have the ORP, and have driven it with the factory fog lights in night fog and daytime fog. So far so good, but this was on roads I’m familiar with. My typical routes are suburban into city.

 

They work better in the fog but most do it and leave them on all the time for IG likes and subscribes.

 

welcome

Yellow vs. White Fog Lights: Pros and Cons

1) The pros of the yellow fog light
Ease of contact with the human eye. The yellow light allows the driver to detect an oncoming vehicle with its fog lights on as soon as possible.

Much more safety. Under the illumination of yellow light, the driver will unconsciously improve concentration to avoid accidents.

Good appearance. The yellow lights add extra beauty to the vehicle. Very stylish and personalized.



2) The cons of the yellow fog light
Not be sufficiently bright in some situations. This will no be a big problem by adding extra lightings, such as LED light bar, pod light, white forward light, or the switchback mode fog light coming with dual color light.



3) The pros of the white fog light
Bright and straightforwardness. It's easier to see around dark corners, especially at night.



4) The cons of the white fog light
Too bright. The white light produces more glare. White light is brighter than the yellow one, however, the brightness is not the factor in every situation.

Danger in low visibility weather. The white light is not as effective as the yellow light as it has a shorter wavelength. Staring constantly at white light can frustrate the eye.

The Lasfit response reads like they are trying to regurgitate something they don’t understand.

 

I'm going to keep white fog lights because they worked for me in fog and also can keep them on all the time not making other drivers angry (having yellow lights everyone knows that's not factory).
