On the Internet I seem to read different opinions on best colours for winter use. Especially at night in the rain and under street lights etc.

I would like to read posts from our Fiero owners and their experiences with bulb colours and bulb makers.

I run a Boch headlight conversion with H4 bulbs.

A greenish hue is supposed to be best for rain.

From personal experience, I find the white works much better than the blue during the winter months. The blue just does not reflect well enough on wet or snowy roads.

In the winter months I hire a small boy to walk ahead of my car with a lantern.
