I've always had a thing for actual yellow fog lights

@zebra12 , it looks like they can be rotated. You have to pull those little spring clip things out. Snap a picture of them before you take them out so you know how they go back in. Basically the hook end goes under the lip, the bend down towards the light and then push the straight end down until it clicks under the lip. I’d suggest some light sanding and spray painting once you have them rotated how you like. The paint quality isn’t the greatest. And fill the grommet hole with some RTV or silicone. I dont know why they have one with such a huge opening.
Mine have been painted, RTV’d and on for a while now and work fine and have had no moisture in them.
Great, thank you. Yellow Hellas and the fog light adapters ordered.
Now, I need to install my mopar RC bumper (and support my fellow Oregonians and buy a M8000).
And there is the reason I hate the white/blue LEDs. Amazing how well they sell tho. I have always preferred halogen lights over LEDs.
The yellow light was originally developed for winter driving to give better definition when everything was white. Clear has always been the best colour for fog/rain.
But a fog light is not about colour, it is about having a sharp cutoff so the light does not reflect back off the fog, snow, rain, smoke.

Looks great. I also love the classic yellow or amber fog light look. Based on your review I ordered a set off Ebay tonight. I does take about a month for shipping from India. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

i love them too! aka electric produced in DDR, found in a flea market for 40 euros, easy to install and looks great to me!

That’s my understanding as well. You want the fog lights to have a sharp cut off or be angled down so that the light doesn’t reflect back into your eyes.
Similar reasoning for why running high beams in fog is a bad idea even if the lumen output is the same as the low beams.
Hella 500FF 55w driving lights. I installed yellow Lamin-X skin and replaced the bulbs with yellow H3's. I went with driving lights over fogs simply because fog is a maybe-once-a-year thing around even though I live on the water. Yellow is totally because I like the look. I grew up in the 80's.

I’m still happy with mine and they are working great. Do the little extra things like repaint the housing and find a way of sealing up the gapping hole the wiring goes through. LOL I don’t know why they made them like that.
I bought some LED bulbs to try in them a couple years ago but have never gotten around to swapping them out. At e when one of the halogens burns out.
I have the same preference. I got KC halogen fogs that come only in clear, sold as upgrades for the TJ so they already have the right connector.
Then I covered them with yellow lamin x.
Bonus is that making them clearly a different color than the whiter LEDs looks better than the way "white" halogens end up looking brown by comparison.

I think that you will be disappointed in the LEDs. They don't emit the light the same as the halogens, so they don't focus well. If you want more light, get 100 watt bulbs for your existing lights. Depending on your wiring, you might have to upgrade it to handle the extra wattage though.
I have both. Amber filters for winter and clear for the other season 
Looks super nice.
You may want to bump up security for that hood (before it’s too late…he’s coming).
Looks good in your photo. Are you going to purchase another one and then return the light that doesn’t match?

I should be safe
