Question
Hello Antonio

The Ford fog factory lights sold in Australia are all clear colour.  I need to investigate here whether I can get yellow fog lights but need to ask the right question.  Are yellow fog lights yellow because of the lamp glass (tinting) or because of a different type of globe?

Thanks

Craig

Answer
Hello Craig,

The answer to your question can go either way, some fog lights are yellow because of a tinting applied to the housing of the light itself, however, others are yellow due to a tinting inside the bulb in the housing.

The answer will depend on the type of bulbs you are looking to install, if you know what ones you are looking for, or if you want OEM replacements for a certain vehicle, please provide me the information about either the part or the vehicle, and i will guide you from there.

Thank you

Good Luck.
