Looks good since your truck is a dark color,some contrast with the yellow stripe. Looks much better on black, but I will keep it for the summer, something different.

The fog lights are actually same color as the headlights (white). At night with the yellow tint it emits yellow

Thanks Terp335, It is fairly easy to remove it and I wanted to see if it made a difference during foggy conditions with the yellow light. If not then I may just remove them since it was only $14.00

I live out in the country side and yellow fog light tint on my E90's regular bulbs used to help me a lot in late night driving conditions to see the road portions and out. However the F15 LED fogs do a great job as is at working in conjunction with the low beams which I feel are aimed a little too low to begin with but that's a whole other can of worms.

I'm more interested in how they look at night? Do you have better contrast? How about in foggy conditions?

I like it!

Nice touch to match the yellow stripe on the front lip, and it looks great against the Space Gray.

side note... did you install your sport grilles yourself...?

Yay.

White beam is ineffective in whiteout conditions.

Sport grills? Do you mean the kidney grills? If yes, then yes I installed them myself.

Matt, I figured you would appreciate this since you have already expressed your disappointment with the usefulness of the fog lights

Nay. It takes away attention from the yellow accent on the CF lip.

Exactly. If it works better in fog, or heavy rain or snow, then great. That is, after all, what they're for. I'm not too impressed with them as they are. I might give this a try. I don't care about the cosmetics, I care about the performance. btw, I'm also not impressed with all the people driving around with their fog lights on all the time. I'm not impressed that your car came with fog lights so you think everyone needs to see that your car came with fog lights. Toyota Corollas come with fog lights. I'm not impressed. Please turn your fog lights off until it gets foggy.
