Yellow fog woes
Yellow fog woes
SIGH! So I THOUGHT the Hella Yellow Stars I had before were the Korean ones, since they were so crappy and blew constantly. Apparently I was wrong, however, because I just ordered 6 of them off the net and they ARE NOT EVEN REMOTELY YELLOW. This is killing me. I was willing to live with the bulbs blowing every few months (they're cheap), but now I can't even have them be yellow.
So what am I going to do? I hear people talking about painting them, but one of my friends told me his boy did this and it was REAL ghetto and chipped off immediately. I do need a new drivers-side fog light, and I'm probably going to get a set of them, so I can experiment, but are there any options other than painting the exterior or aftermarket fogs? I like the fit of the stock ones...I'd really rather not get aftermarket ones.
P.S. - I've tried the PIAA ION Crystals...totally ricey and just utter crap. Why is it so insane that people want their fogs to be the color they're SUPPOSED to be?

I don't have them but was wondering. How are the PIAA ION crystals ricey? Are they too yellow, not yellow enough, what?

@Zumble : That's where I used to get mine, but I don't see the H3's on there any more. I would steer clear of them when they finally blow though...the yellow stars are no good anymore.
I ordered the Narvas, I will post my thoughts when I get them.
Re: Re: Re: Yellow fog woes
Mine are 3 years old at least. So I guess they were the good ones. I'll know not to bother with them in the future.. =(

They're not yellow enough and they tend to change colors as you pass by. There's even a bluish tint at some angles.
