the vinyl restricts light so light output isnt as good but looks better in daytime. yellow fogs can barely be seen in day unless you are up close.
Fog vinyl/covers vs. Yellow Fogs
Which one (if not both) is better?
The fogs seem cheaper than the covers, but I'm biased to the look of the vinyl.
Ive also heard of issues with protectants such as lamin-x melting/smoking?

so ive had both and this is what i can tell you.
Bulbs: good output, looks kinda weird in the daytime, a lighter tint of yellow
Vinyl: protects the fog lense, a deeper tone of yellow, restricts 5-10% of light output.
ive never had any problems with bulbs overheating or vinyl smoking/melting.
for the fogs, ive tried many setups from regular bulbs to high watt bulbs, 35w/55w hids, with or w/o vinyl and ive never had a problem. ive probably went through 2 sheets of vinyl testing which shade of yellow i like the best. im super happy with my current setup.

i like my vinyl with 8000K hids behind them , it gives it a nice look when the fogs are off
i got nokya 2500K and they look great ! 
but when theyre on it looks green :facepalm:i like my vinyl with 8000K hids behind them , it gives it a nice look when the fogs are off
+1.but when theyre on it looks green :facepalm:
Indeed it does look like the green in his Monster Avatar picture
^ lol yeah but they are something different , but they give out alot of light more than my 3000K or my 3000K behind vinyl
That just doesn't make sense from a Physics stand point.^ lol yeah but they are something different , but they give out alot of light more than my 3000K or my 3000K behind vinyl
4300K gives out the MOST Lumen
3000K gives out the most usable light during bad weather
and 8000K - 10000k (or higher) gives out the LEAST Lumen out of of all the HID kits.
The choice you should have gone with is 4300K with a Vinyl to get the most light output.
+1 but you probably think its more light because you see the tint of green nowThat just doesn't make sense from a Physics stand point.
