Default Yellow Foglights

It was foggy today here in NC and I started thinking about my red 89 Prelude Si - it had yellow fog lights and I loved the look. I was doing a Google search for S2000 yellow fog lights and came on this post from 6 years ago...
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/florida-...estion-930765/

I asked the question on that page and just now realized it's just the Florida S2000 forum so not sure how many will see it - I thought I'd throw it out here to see if anyone has done this recently and what options are out there for an AP2 bumper?
Thanks!

Ebay used to be awash with lights like this and many seemed to be just LEDs stuck in the plates covering the holes. I think there's more to fog lights than just slapping lights on the front of the car and they need reflector housings to focus the light. At least my vehicles with factory fog lights are this way.

Personally I think the yellow light fixtures look horrible and distract from the appearance of the car. Aesthetically yellow light (when On) would be fine as opposed to yellow fixtures but this is purely a matter of taste which is personal (rumor has it some guys prefer light beer!). Yeah, I replaced the yellow side turn signals with clear lenses and yellow lights behind them.

Much of the "science" regarding yellow fog lights seems to have been repudiated with any advantages reduced to near insignificance and even the French abandoned yellow headlights over 25 years ago. I had a set of 7" yellow, concave lens, non-sealed beam headlights out of a 1962 Renault I used on several cars just to be different. 7" headlights gives you an idea how long ago this was.

Yeah I guess I’m leaning too much on nostalgia with my Prelude. That too had large rectangular fog lights with the flip up headlights. Loved the look. After looking at these led options I’m not seeing anything that really does it for me. Surprisingly you really don’t see many fog lights on s2k’s.

p.s. I’m a stout/porter type of guy
