Alright... so yesterday was about the foggiest I've seen it around here for quite some time, and I decided to use my foglights to help combat it. This is the first time I actually used the foglights in my "new" 300D (which has Euro headlights, not US Spec rounds), in the fog.

I don't know if it's just my mind playing tricks on me, or if it's actually the case... but I don't think these euros have the same fog-fighting capabilities as my US Spec bulbs did. First, the Euros are white, not amber. I stuck some amber-ish H1 bulbs in there, but they don't seem to throw off much amber light, and are nowhere near as "golden yellow" as the Bosch yellow rounds. After turning them on, they didn't seem to give me much improvement in the fog. Visibility went from "Pretty crappy" to "Slightly less crappy, but still pretty bad.".

So, I guess my question is, "Are the US Yellow's better than the euro white's for fog-fighting, or is it just in my head?", and "Is there a way to make these euro's more yellow / improve their ability to cut fog?". The PO sold this car to me, and included the US bezels / sockets.. this has made me tempted to swap out the euro's for the more old-fashioned looking US DOT's.

Maybe it was just me, and maybe the fog was simply too thick to cut.. but I found this whole thing strange.
