Beautiful!

You should check into a pair of HID-lookalike bulbs for your driving lights, so they match the headlights.

If they`re not yellow they`re not foglights, so I figure they`d might as well match!

Actually they ARE yellow. The camera`s white balance was probably off due to the low light. They have a yellow lens covering the projector, they work great!

Well, not quite . . . foglights are defined not by their color, but rather, by their configuration. This quote is taken from Daniel Stern Lighting`s webpage:

A fog lamp is not defined as "yellow", but as a lamp that produces a very wide bar of light with minimal-to-no uplight and a sharp horizontal cutoff, and the determinant of a good fog lamp is amount of uplight (less is better) and sharpness of cutoff (sharper is better), not beam color. Selective-yellow light can improve fog lamp performance, because it is lacking in the high frequency/short wavelength blue light that reflects readily off atmospheric moisture (frozen or not) and into your eyes. I prefer selective-yellow fog lamps, though I would certainly take a good white fog lamp over a poor selective-yellow one. (My preference is for good selective-yellow ones!).

So, some low-mounted white lamps (especially in the US where there is no requirement for yellow) are indeed foglights.

In your 2nd pix Ali, you can see that they are yellow.

Fog lights do not necessarily has to be yellow. There are white light colored versions also. It is the beam pattern ( low cut-off) not color that distinquishes their function.

:wavey

By the way the car looks GREAT. More then I can say for the Red Sox recent play. The last 2 nights have been completely disheartening and true to form of the last 85 years.

I watch almost every game here in Virginia (NESN) and now I can not wait for the Pat`s season to start.

Okay, okay- not that I though I was the only person on the `net to read Daniel Stern`s page end to end, but most people don`t know halogen from HID; I`m sorry I forgot I was speaking to car buffs! In the prairies, many of us do not have to deal with fog, and therefore use white lights to enhance outward visibility, and refer to these as `driving lights`, vs. "fog"lights.

I love this board!

Thanks Edwin!
