VW Golf MK5 Yellow Fog lights
Discussion
Alright, I'm looking to put yellow fog lamp bulbs in my MK5 1.4 TSi GT Golf, but from what I've read it's between two sizes/fittings, H11 and HB4. Can anyone advise how I can tell without pulling it apart? I've taken a photo through the lens cover and attached it. I'd pull it apart and work it out myself but it's dark by the time I'm home and I'd rather just do it when I have the bulbs. Cheers!

What look are you hoping to achieve as I suspect what you are after is yellow looking light like this:
more so than a clear lens that gives off a yellow light.
Easiest way to achieve a yellow lens is with Laminex or similar stick on coating that can be removed at a later date.
Genuine question, why would you do this? Is there something superior about the lights above?

^ I was attempting to answer the question as opposed to endorsing the idea.
There is/was a view that the yellow bulbs in fog lights were to do with the light frequency and by having a different shade it makes it easier for your eyes to pick up the low fog lighting under your standard white headlamp bulbs.
To me it reminds me of French cars in the 80s
