Just had a thought the other day when i saw a car driving with yellow headlights! was an old celica and it looked awesome. considering getting some for the lude...whats the verdict on the yellow lights ? anyone used them ?
they do stand out a lot more than the white now.

But you have to remember that any coloured bulbs makes less light then standard ones. Not much different in towns and when new but after some time it can be significant.
Personally I wouldn't do it but on the other side I have yellow fogs

Yellow light offers far superior light depending on conditions.
I use Yellow PIAA in my fogs. Well yellow.
4300k Hid projectors for driving/main beam.

see i would go xenon if i had projectors like my civic did...but ive not got the money to spend on a new set especially after the recent parts purchase. Im thinking the yellow will look better being in the standard headlights my fogs are now tinted yellow but not got bulbs in them yet (the looms just been dangling since i got the car)

My pal has some yellow film. Im about to buy new bulbs as one of my headlights has just went and i prefer to replace both sides at the same time. I think ill give the yellow ones a shot, if i dnt like them they can go in the fogs

I got pulled over one time as I had yellow bulbs in my civic once. The police told me to remove them asap which I did and then I didn't really use them again.
They looked fab though
haven't thought of installing them on the lude but not many people sell H1 yellow bulbs that are proven high quality.
Ive found these but not sure how good /reliable they are
