Deciding between OEM, Halo Projector, Clear, Yellow, and Smoke Bonneville Foglights

Pontiac Bonneville Halo Projector Foglight Kit Overview
If you are looking for something a little different and more personalized, then a set of Bonneville Halo Projector Foglights might work best for you. Halo Projector Fog lights are the same size as stock Bonneville Fog Light kits, but they use a completely different type of lens. By incorporating a convex lens to “project” the light from your foglights, they transfer the shape of your light beam to be spread over a wider area. This increases overall visible viewing area, making your Bonneville safer to drive during foggy conditions.
Also, Bonneville Halo Projector fog light kits use halo lighting technology (also known as angel eye lighting) to provide even more light from the foglight. By adding an extra illuminated ring around the projector (the “halo”), they give your fog lights the same glowing ring look as the higher end European headlights. Also, for certain applications, the halo is left unwired, giving you the option to splice them into your Bonneville’s parking lights, allowing you to turn only the halo ring on when you activate your parking lights. Alternatively, you could not wire them all if are expecting a more low key look from your Bonneville fog lights.
Choosing the right color foglights for your Pontiac Bonneville
Once you have decided what style you want, the next choice is color. There are usually 3 choices available for Bonneville Fog Lights for both the OEM and Halo Projector styles: Clear, Smoke, and Yellow.
Clear Pontiac Bonneville Fog Lights: The standard choice
Clear is the color of lens that the dealer fog lights came in and for good reason. Clear Bonneville Fog Lights put out the most light of all the colors since colored fog lights have to add some material to the lens, blocking overall light. Also, Clear Foglights, both halo and OEM style kits, look great no matter what color your Bonneville is. Also, if you are planning to add colored bulbs of HID kits to your Bonneville fog lights, clear is the way to go if you want to maximize the effect of the new color.
The only downside to clear Bonneville Foglights is that their “clearness” can be a liability if your foglights start getting old and worn looking after a few years.
Smoke Pontiac Bonneville Fog Lights: A different take on a classic option
Unless you are going for that Japanese JDM look, Smoke Foglights are probably the nicest option available for your Bonneville. At the expense of a marginal loss of brightness, you get a slick looking light that looks perfect on white and most dark colored Bonneville. They are a perfect complement to tinted windows, especially on black Bonneville going for the full tinted Knight Rider-ish look.
Being the darkest foglight, they hide wear and tear the best, but that also makes them a less than desirable option if you are planning to add colored bulbs or HID kits to your Bonneville.
Yellow Pontiac Bonneville Fog Lights: Aggressive and functional
Yellow is the preferred color for drivers going after the Japanese “JDM” look. They look exceptionally nice on high contrast color Bonneville like black, white, or blue. Yellow Bonneville fog light kits might not be the best look for Bonneville with yellowish colors though (yellow, orange, some reds, etc.).
Another thing to consider with yellow Bonneville fog lights (both OEM style and Halo Projector versions) is that they actually do the best job in foggy or inclement weather. Due to the wavelength of the light spectrum of yellow light, they produce the least glare against fog, rain, puddles, etc. making them the SAFEST color of foglight to get…assuming you are really buying fog lights because you are planning on driving your Bonneville in the fog.
