Yellow high beams?

[Bimmerman325i]

not really..... rain is rare past May, snow is more infrequent than not.

i remember last summer for a month straight it rained every singe afternoon from 4-6pm.

But anyway, stupid argument really....

get yellows if you want, they do look cool, and make yellow light, and that's about it.

But in the summer at 4-6 it is daylight and you gain no visibility by using headlights, only the added safety. Driving at night, in the rain, is pretty rare. Not to mention how rare it is to use high beams in a city.

So yeah, just get yellow highs or lamin-x them if you like the look. I just wouldn't do it to your lows. Lamin-X is nice stuff. I use the clear on all my lights. Although it seems like they are getting yellowed a bit, maybe they just need a good cleaning.

Yellow Lamin-X. looks like crap. get the real ones from a benz.- mine are very bright. and i wired them up to a seperate swich. so i can choose if i only want them on/ running lights and them one/ or all them on.

my low beam have reg driving lights and brights in them

I used Krylon stained glass spray paint. I did my just for looks, I have HIDs so I almost never use my brights.

I think it looks horrid and ruins the consistency across the face of the car. Just sayin'.

That's a good idea How much did you pay for the lenses? How did you wire those like that

[blefevre]

I think Cloudbase on here used Lamin-X for yellowing the highs. You could check his car out to see how it looks

I believe I read somewhere once that the human eye sees the wavelength of yellow/orange/reddish light better than bright white/blue etc. I've always wondered why there aren't the equivalent of HID's in yellow? Perhaps the high intensity part.

[blue325es]

HID stands for high intensity discharge... Im
Not sure there's a way to make the gases yellow.. Unless they make the bulb itself yellow?

I'm not sure why the yellow high beam is popular with the E30 guys, I think it looks like doo-doo.




This is coming from a guy with OEM french lights all across, so I might be a bit biased.
