        The yellows work great when snow is falling, I didn't get the blinding white when I had the highs on. I don't think it's legal to run amber low's, is it?

          All yellow is the best IMO.

              I used a paint made for painting fog lights yellow. Cost 20 bux a can since I could never find the Mbz lights anywhere. Yellow output at night is great!

                      My car hasn't had yellow lights for a pretty good while. Didn't change my signature until just recently though.

                        Does the paint come out naturally looking like or did you just put a very light coat of paint? It looks really OEM, I like it.

                              So how does just painting the high beams work as well as getting an actual yellow light? Is it some special paint made for glass? How many coats? I think I might do this.

                                Painting the high beam yellow, you'll just have a yellow high beam. As for getting a yellow light like the MB 123 fogs, they will work as fogs. The paint that can be used is made by dupli color, it's metelcast yellow. or you can get stainedglass paint at a craft store. In the past i think i sprayed a light coat then two heavier coats to get what i wanted.
