Baja Designs S1 is very poor choice as fog light. It's is bright but no cut off. It should not be used on the road.
Diode dynamics SC1 Pro SAE Fog would be much better option for fog.

Tnx. Is there a kit for the stock location? Ronin Metal works has a kit for the Baja Designs that’s why I was leaning towards them…plus they look great!
I tried to figure this out for a long time too after coming across a GX on Instagram with them. I just purchased the Ronin brackets which are advertised to work for both the Bajas and the Diode Dynamics SSC1. I haven't installed mine yet but planning on going with the Diode Dynamics.

Having used both yellow and white fog lights, meh... I've found just driving slow and being able to keep the tail lights in front of me at a safe distance is all I've ever needed.
I have never seen a great enough improvement with yellow lights in fog to warrant getting them. I'd just assume get driving lights that throw out farther so I'm not out running my headlights.

I came across the diode dynamics at a pretty good price so finally pulled the trigger.Awesome Tnx. I might follow suit. Let us know how it went once finished
Install was pretty straight forward, and the Ronin brackets worked great. They don’t come with any instructions but to note the “notch” in the bracket will need to face outwards. There’s a tab on the bumper where the foglight sits against, will make more sense once you see it.
So drivers side for example, once mounted on the light will look a C when looking at it head on - pic for reference, passenger on left, driver on right.
Install took maybe 30-45 minutes.
I haven’t gone out for a drive yet, but first impressions are the beam cutoff is def cleaner than stock with maybe a bit better output.
Here’s another quick pick on the driveway

I love my diode dynamics! I got the combo beam pattern, and honestly, like them better than my low beams...
Appearance
As the name implies, the yellow fog light takes on a yellow color when turned on. This kind of fog light is perhaps the most widely recognized; many incline toward them because the natural eye is more lenient toward yellow lights. It enhances a car’s aesthetic appearance, and users can turn it on to make a statement. Then again, a complete component of the white light is that it has a white appearance, nearly with a somewhat blue shade. It is popular with many car owners because it brings certain simplicity.
Bulb Compatibility
There are no significant differences between yellow and white fog lights in bulb compatibility, as both can work with halogen or LED bulbs. Putting HID in the fog lights is not advisable. When people drive at night, HID lights provide them with more light to see, especially in the area immediately in front of the vehicle. In theory, this could make HID lights safer for the driver, but in the real sense, it could cause more danger because the solid blue light they emit can blind other road users.
Color Temperature
The color of the yellow and white lights differs because of their different temperatures. By looking at the light color temperature chart, you can see that yellow light functions around 2,000-3,000 kelvins, while the white fog light is between 5,000 and 6,000 kelvins.
Brightness
The yellow fog light reduces glare towards other drivers. This is particularly significant during rain, snow, or fog, or anytime water is in the air reflecting light towards you. That is why the yellow light used to be the more common fog light. However, the white fog light enlightens the street better due to its brightness than the yellow one.
Distance
The yellow fog light illuminates the path ahead at a greater distance because it has a longer wavelength. Unlike the yellow fog light, the white fog light is less effective due to its shorter wavelength causing it to refract or bounce backlight.
Glare
The white fog light produces more glare when compared to the yellow fog, which has no glare.
Are Yellow or White Fog Lights Illegal?
This is a great question to consider depending on your location or where you plan to visit. Various domains may have explicit laws concerning the utilization of these car lights. For example, in Florida, traffic laws prohibit fog lights when other vehicles are on the road unless there is fog.
Yellow vs. White Fog Lights: Which Are Better?
When choosing the right fog light between white and yellow, it’s up to your preference. It would help if you considered each of the benefits and drawbacks, which will help you decide which is better for your vehicle.
The Pros of the Yellow Fog Light
- Ease of contact with the human eye. The human eyes will ideally indulge the yellow light, whether focused on approaching road users or the road.
- It ensures safety because it takes less effort to see.
- Yellow fog lights cut well through different environmental conditions capable of affecting vision.
- It is important for the perception of depth, which is helpful if you are driving in an unfamiliar environment.
- The yellow lights also add extra beauty to the car.
- The main drawback of the yellow light is that it might not be sufficiently bright in some situations. This issue becomes evident when utilizing a yellow fog light color.
- The white fog light brings some straightforwardness, which numerous vehicle owners appreciate.
- It is adaptable, which infers that you can utilize it as a standard vehicle light.
- It is exceptionally brilliant and can carry great enlightenment to dark spots.
- It can be too bright, making it unsuitable for human vision. Such brightness can cause tension while driving.
- There is the danger of refraction because of its short frequency, expanding the odds of glares.
Fog lights are imperative extras for your car as they help you move around in weather conditions where permeability is poor.
Yellow and white fog lights are more beneficial in dealing with fog, especially for small car drivers, compared with other colored lights such as blue, violet, and indigo. Try to avoid these other colored lights because they have very short wavelengths and are difficult to comprehend by the human eye. The blue light, for instance, focuses on the front of the eyes, while the yellow color hits the retina at the right point, making it easier to process.
If you have them, the main tip is to use them wherever circumstances call for it, during storms, downpours, snow, and fog.
If in doubt, which one to use, do more research and talk with a local vehicle lighting expert for guidance.
Also, when you get out of your vehicle for whatever reason, never leave the fog lights on because they will deplete your battery, just like regular headlights.
Final Thoughts
The vehicle lighting system is essential while driving as it helps to increase visibility and preserves road safety. Among the different kinds of lights accessible on present-day vehicles are the fog lights, which are the little lights under the headlights. As the name Implies, they assume a fundamental part in foggy conditions, empowering the driver to see through the cloud.
