Dumb Question #32: My fog lights are [already] yellow...?

My 2013 Fit Sport had one previous owner.

I just recently jumped in and out of my parked car so I could see what the various lights looked like when on (DRL, Parking Lights, Fog Lights, etc.) and noticed that my fog lights are yellow. Kewl!

Closer inspection:





Are these stock, or aftermarket?

(Dumb Question #32a: If stock, are some of y'all taking measures to make them yellow-er [the various "yellow fog lights" threads]? Why?)

Thanks!

These are aftermarket non-HID bulbs in the OEM housing/lens.

Dumb Question #33: don't the Sport models come with a rear swaybar?

Preemptive , if indeed my ignorance is showing again.


Meanwhile, I am love love loving my Fit. That's the point, right?

In other words, those who don't have yellow want it, for good reasons?

I was confused, because until reading some of the threads here I didn't realize mine weren't stock, so was wondering why people were adding going after "yellow."

Thanks!

It sure is. Loving mine as well. Just took on it a 600 mile road trip this past weekend and it did great.

I don't think there is a rear sway bar at all, just the torsion beam axle. I'll be ordering the Progress rear sway soon. My other car is lowered with upgraded bars and suspension bits so the Fit seems super floaty to me. But I do love how it handles already. Adding a rear bar will make it even better.

The Sport has a sway bar (anti roll-bar) built into the torsion beam, which is itself an anti roll-bar. The Progress bar will augment this on either the Sport or Base. I think all are just a matter of stiffening the torsion bar. None are sway bars in the traditional sense.
