Yellow Fog Lamp Bulbs

Anyone ever tried using yellow bulbs for their foglights? I am thinking about getting these:

The only concern I have is that BMW spec says our bulbs are 51 Watts and these are about 70 Watts. Would I have an issues with any warning lights coming on? Thanks

Realize that many owners think that the factory fogs are already "too yellow", so you're not likely to find much of a following for fogs that are construction-barrel yellow.

Also, when moving to a higher wattage, you run the very real risk of melting the wiring and/or the log ligh housing.

Here's an idea. Upgrade your stock fogs to Xenonmatch. It will really clean up the front of your car. Hoen just put my car up on their website - it's the RS4 at the top:

HOEN-USA


Edit: Yellow is good in the fog though!
