Durania Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 As anyone ran them in their fog lights? I am looking at getting a set for my RS fogs but would like to hear some feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have never run the Yellow Stars, but hold the Hella product line in high regards. All of their products have been top notch in my book. So, think they have to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thank you. I will be ordering some in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDfreak Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Tell us about it! I'm debating whether I should put Sylvania Silverstars or Hella bulbs in my fogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyKeith Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'm running yellow stars in my fogs. They are just a little yellow, enough to notice and help in actual fog. They aren't super yellow like you would get if you had a yellow lens fog. If you want that, go with the OPTILUX Extreme (Made by Hella) bulbs. Just remember, http://www.rallylights.com has all your Hella Lighting needs! Sorry, they're my friends and I buy all my Lighting equipment from them.

I didn't know there was such a site that catered to owners of Subarus!!! From what I can see, looks like they take Subaru owners into consideration. Also lots of variety of products, thanks for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) I have been talking to them personally and they are super helpful. The yellow stars are back ordered that the moment till next week is what they are telling me. I will also be going with yellow lenses on my fogs. I just emailed them inquiring about their Optilux fogs. http://www.headlightarmor.com/subaru-lighting-kits.aspx?page=5 Edited February 5, 2010 by Durania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Just got my fogs revamped. Got the yellow tint from headlightarmor.com http://www.headlightarmor.com/subaru-lighting-kits.aspx?page=5 And took RallyKeith's advice and went with the Optilux XY yellows. My headlights are Silverstars and will probably be getting some 4500k HIDs soon. Here are the pictures: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I did the same thing with my 1998 Lagacy Outback, but I bought and cut the film myself (only 0.50 for the film & $4,500 for the plotter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I am thinking yellow for the factory fogs would be much better than the way the factory designed them. tell more about the covers, and are the bulbs yellow without the covers. see in rain fog improved alot? My outback has the factory fogs, i am either wishing to -go yellow with covers so they actually do a good job -convert to driving lights, but since they are so low, probably bad -sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bulbs are yellow bulbs. Mine are 55W, 12v, H3s. Edited February 16, 2010 by Durania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 yellow makes them work better in fog/rain. let us know how they do and tell us if its the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 what dose the yellow do? just looks or dose it make them work better in fog? It does help visibility. The yellow light isn't reflected back by fog the same way white or blue light is due to the difference in wavelength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Let me know how well they do in the rain/fog Kyle. Looks very good. Have been considering some yellows to help with visibility in snow and rain, will probably go with your setup if you notice any difference.

Durania Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 For the first time ever, I'm praying for a foggy morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 I did read that the yellow film isnt really enough. If you will go this route, make sure and get the yellow bulbs as well. I also forgot to add that I replaced the factory torx screws that hold my fogs in. One bolt snapped in half and left the other part in my bumper, the other stripped out the hole. I replaced them with 10mm bolts coated in anti-seize. Makes for removal and installation so much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru_dude Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 You guys got some nice snow. Didn't get that much here in Morristown.

Durania Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 We got a good 4 inches here between 11pm-4am CST. Ole RS does amazing in the snow. I love getting looks when passing people uphill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
