[QUOTE="dirtyd88, post: 12417391, member: 84007"] Not really the truth, but I get what you are saying. Brightness is relative. You can fog lights bright as hell that will cut through fog still. Fog lights are supposed to emit light waves within a certain color range in order to "cut" through the fog. The lower the Kelvin color temp, the better they "cut" through, since the light wave frequency is higher. This is why the bluer/purpuler in color you go with an HID bulb drastically decreases the effective distance you can see (that's another story). 3000K-4000K are the most ideal bulbs for a true fog light setup. A reason in which Le Mans Champ cars run yellow headlights. Rain, snow, fog, clear night they can still see effectively. [/QUOTE]
