Default Yellow head lamps

I was wondering if anyone has installed any yellow head lights in there Z. If so do they give you any problems? Do you lose some visibility with them? What would be the best brand to get?
I like the way they look but if I was to loose anything I won't get them.
Thanx

I had them for about a week. They looked great and didn't hurt visibility but took them out because I was afraid of getting rolled. I have a set of hyper yellow that fit non HID that I'll sell you for $25shipped.

i think so. They are technically not legal to use on public roads because they are not "white".
I know that cars in other countries have yellow lights because it actually increases visibility when its foggy/rainy, but the law is the law

Not that you are going to get stopped everytime a cops sees you, but they CAN, and sooner or later, they will.

So it would probably be better if I go with the yellow see threw sticket for the headlights.... I wonder if that would make the light look green at night? The HID are already kinda blueish...

Hey Jun thanks again for the kit....still works perfectly!

To the O.P. - Put em on if you have other exterior mods....don't let the headlight overlays be the only thing Good luck!

Does that reduce the light output? How yellow does the light look on the road?

yes it does reduce the light output but i don't think by much. i was still able to light up all 4 lanes on the freeway. the light is very yellow. i'll take some pictures at night so you can see for yourself.

i wanted to see how yellow would look on the blue. blue and yellow go pretty well together. i had put a yellow spoiler up against the car for sh*ts and giggles and the color combination is not bad at all.

Andy, Kelly has the pictures on her album. You can find more here http://www.flickr.com/photos/katc10

What do you think would look better, with or with out tinting the side markers?
