    Yellow Fogs? or Lower color temp and higher lumens...

    So, as an uneducated a-hole, I bought blue fog bulbs... after reading an amazing thread in the DIY subforum, I now realize the error of my ways.

    Question- is there a yellow replacement fog bulb I can buy? I've searched around... TMS, BavAuto, the like... maybe I'm not looking hard enough. there are probably teilhauser i've never heard of?

    Even cooler (I think) would be a french yellow lens and bulb... if that exists...

    I'm sure i'm the first e30 owner on R3V to ask this... If i've misused the search function, I apologize, and am prepared for the deluge of criticism.

    I did try..

    thanks

              There are yellow fogs, and yellow bulbs. Just depends on your application.

              As stated, bulbs are all over ebay, just type in your bulb type and 'yellow'

                      What about yellow tint film, and high output clear bulbs?
                      Keeps the lenses safe from rock damage, and makes more light from the same watts.

                      I can get both for you - pm if interested.

                          Still haven't made up my mind what I'm going to do about my lighting situation.

                          Let me ask a few questions:

                          1. Can i upgrade to Euro headlights (like the ones at TMS or Bavauto) without jimmying with electrical stuff? I'd rather have a plug and play application? **note, I'm NOT talking about an HID install. No interest. Specifically, I'd like to upgrade to yellow Euro headlights, high and low beam, like at Abrahams'MS.

                          How involved is this sealed beam--> Euro conversion? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I understand the different lighting options available, but all the writeups on here address adding the HID, and that's really not something I'm interested in.

                          Thanks.

                          EDIT: Will the Hella 550w driving lights fit in an early model (BBS Valence) fog light situation?
