those were cool in the 60s some even had yellow lenses for uber cool..

Yellow light reflects less light off the water molecules of fog. That’s why they used it for fog lights BITD. Less glare = better visibility. Modern technology has developed clear bulbs that produce yellow light. That’s what expensive fog lights have.

You’ve probably noticed how old sealed beam lights appear yellow compared to modern H1-H4 halogen bulbs and LEDs. Same thing.
