"Yellow Star" is Hella's brand name for a Dichroic bulb. These bulbs use a chemical salt coating that, when heated, produce a yellow gas in the globe and therefore a yellow light. These bulbs lose the least amount of light to the coating and are considered true all weather bulbs. In stock wattages, Yellow Star bulb are DOT compliant.
