Color of Fog Lights

[Guest lightning]

i found this article on fog lights in one of the oversea website but i am sure there are some relevance to us...especially during heavy downpours or if you drive to m'sia often...

Fog lights are able to penetrate the atmosphere better than ordinary lights under foggy conditions. There have been a number of innovations in the field of fog lights. There are halogen lights, or LED lights, as well as HID lamps. Their range is almost the same as of low beam lights. Fog lights are mounted in a vehicle just below the headlights. These are projected at a level lower than low beam lights. There are high-level lights as well, but for them special lenses are used so that the drivers of oncoming vehicles are not inconvenienced.

The next important consideration is what color of light is most suitable in fog lights. A single color light is preferred over white light. White light is made up of different colors so it tends to get dispersed in different directions due to water vapor present in the atmosphere. Red would be the best color to use, as red light can penetrate a longer distance in fogy conditions. However, it is not in use, as it can create confusion. Red color light is being used for stopping vehicles and therefore use of that color will not be advisable for use in fog light. The next best color is yellow which is mostly in use. Lights of a purplish color are also used now. These are high intensity fog lights.
