Hey Gary and all -
The Bosch Automotive Handbook is a very good reference book. It covers
everything in condensed form from Physics, Materials science, thread form,
ignition systems, hydraulics........................... even superchargers.

Bosch Automotive Handbook, 2nd Edition; pg. 587: "Most fog lamps
produce white light.
There is no physiologically justifiable advantages in yellow light."
At most, I'd say that the reduced intensity of the beam from a
yellow lamp results in
reduced glare compared to the same bulb if it weren't filtered
through a yellow lens, but
the effect is the result of a reduction in the amount of light going
out, not from the
color.
