Re: Blue offroad foglights?
 

I would resist the temptation to use blue lights for offroading. I think you
will look like a giant tuner driving around in the woods.

Re: Blue offroad foglights?
 

More significantly, the human eye is not particularly sensitive to blue
light, especially at night and you would need a lot more watts to get the
same level of apparent illumination. The FnF crowd likes them because they
look like HIDs, but blue incandescent lights do not provide better light.

Re: Blue offroad foglights?
 

indeed the human eye is most sensitive to yellow, which is why its a popular
colour filter for cameras.

Re: Blue offroad foglights?
 

Dave,
The original poster has no interest in fog lamps, so the yellow lamps won't
do what he wants. He is looking for offroad lamps to put on a light bar on
the roof.
