    Lightbulb Yellow bulbs..need opinions...

    i was thinking of buying those yellow bulbs for my 04 civic. they will replace the stock beams. do you guys think it'll look hot??? . i want to try something "new". did anyone do this on these forums?? anyone got pics of the yellow bulbs on their EP's at night???

    sorry, can't really find/afford HID's right now, so im just going with bulbs for now. and i can't find any store down here that has PIAA purple bulbs...and i dont want to go with the "blue/hyper white".

    all feedbacks welcome

    if you plan on going hids, then just keep saving, don't waste your money for now, it will only make your goal that much further away.

    ^^^ What he said.

    And, headlights are for seeing. White is bright, but yellow -- or blue -- isn't bright.

    Skooba: there's this "photoshoot" that's comming up this sat. and im just going for looks right now. and all i have to spend right now is enough for bulbs :'( .

    BarracksSi: dont really care about brightness. as long as it shines, that'll do :p

    ^^werd! . that's why i wanna try them cuz it looks "JDM" IMO. i liked how my cousin's 99 JDM ITR headlights had the yellow bulbs for the inner lights. plus my friends DC2-R's regular light is those yellow ones...but i wanted to see them on EP's.

    EPeaThree: im gonna go check out the bulbs tomorrow. and if i get some good feedback from the shop, imma pick them up then take some pics for you ;). if not, then im just gonna go with some nokya arctic purple bulbs instead :)

    *useless trivia*

    in italy all cars have yellow lights as their primary night illumination, while the U.S. and most the rest of Europe use white headlights

    if you want yellow, get the cheapest non halogen light bulbs at autostore, they should not cost more than $1 for the non halogen. They will be more yellow than halogen that have been painted yellow.
    Yellow lights are good for rain and fog, yellow cuts right through it, rather than reflecting like blue/white does.

    I had yellow bulbs before, I like em' it's looks clean and ofcourse a little brighter than stock IMO, but now I have HID, if i would go back to a H4 bulb I would get it again.

    Yellow light aids in wet weather visibility, or so I've read.

    Thats kind of retarded I thought lights were used for visibility, not for "JDMness"
    .......Form follows function ;)

    Those inner's are foglights if i'm not mistaken. Here's a pic of them at a meet from last year.
