*pic request yellow high beam & fogs
Looking to see pics of people running yellow DRL bulbs and yellow fogs. Please list type of bulbs or HID setup, thanks!

I don't get the appeal of yellow lights

I think it's a classic look, back when fog lights were for fog

not driving lights in the fog

Look at classic Benz's, most had French fogs. To each their own. I like it. Post pics of any setup, fogs only, high beams only or both.

Non-white low or high beams will get you a ticket in most US states, which is one reason you never see them.

Never heard of such a law, because many cars come from the factory with amber colored lenzes for fogs

Yellow fogs are cool. Had them on my black cars but never on white. Ricers ruin it a bit too.
I'd say no no to yellow high beams.

Me neither. Maybe if it was on the old 190e AMG's, like the retro. But, on a modern car like the e55? I dunno about that one.

Sounds very BMW ricerish.

This. It's really a euro thing.

I have 2500k fogs. They look nice.

Thinking of just doing my running lights to match, since I can't find much to match my 6000k hid's.

Edit: Here's a crappy cell pic of mine just after I put them in. I'll have to get a better one some other time.

Mine aren't HID. I just put some Nokya 2500k H7's in mine, but I'd probably do these Optilux ones in hindsight:

Optilux H71070702 XY Series H7 12V/55W Xenon Yellow Halogen Bulb Set : Amazon.com : Automotive Optilux H71070702 XY Series H7 12V/55W Xenon Yellow Halogen Bulb Set : Amazon.com : Automotive


They're cheap, easier, look great, and less of a headache than wiring in H7's.

Edit: They look a lot better in person than in that pic. The color in person is closer to the yellow on my avatar.

I have yellow but usually you can't have fogs and high beams on at the same time.
