My "frence" lights are from a Benz @ a yard. You can get them for fairly cheap.

At night the yellow shows more contrast. You dont have to buy frenchies use yellow lamin-x.

As far as history I actually believe that at one point France required yellow head lights. I've seen a couple French movies with bmws during the eighties and they had "frenched" highs and lows.

that makes sense, thanks.

yellow is a easier color to see in the fog rather than white light.

Ok so i dont even have an E30 yet but Im doing research and waiting for the cash in hand so I can buy one. Sorry if this is a noob question, I searched and really didnt see what im asking. What is the benefits of the yellow, or what i have found to be called french lights? Are they just for looks? History behind them? thanks.
