Default yellow or clear (fog/driving lights)?



The front nose im getting for one of my 7s has to square holes for fog/driving lights.

I have a few questions on it.
Is the visibility still good on the "amber" lights compared to "clear"?

I was thinking of these:
If anyone has some experiance with them let me know.

Also on cars that came with "sealed beam" how much diffrent is it with the "halogen upgrade"?is it worth it?

I need that style/size light for that nose.
Any other brand should I look into?

Yellow is far better for poor visibility situations. the wave legnth of the yellow light is shorter than the white light. The shorter wave legnth allows the light to penetrate fog,smoke and rain better. Plus yellow does not reflect vack at you as bad as white.
