that must have been a sight to see. I have seen Z3 M's with completely yellow headlights, but that must just be laminex or something.

I dont like yellow headlights. I think they are legal. You just cant have blue, red, or green lights. That's how it is in CT at least.

those are H4 high/low beam 2500k make sure you run the factory wattage or else they will melt the harness? i heard nokya yellow bulbs are good and last longer, i am planning to get H3 nokya yellow JDM for my fogs. by the way yours look nice and i would say that those who cant afford HID's should stick with nokya. they also got in PURPLE and ARCTIC WHITE color.
go for these>> stage 1 $23.00 a pair.

nokya do have stage 2 thats over 3000k and may crack your fog housing because of high output wattage. the following is (POLARG) brand its 3000k 55w draw and 100w output these are pure yellow but cost $60 a pair.

i would suggest having a clear or white bulbs in headlight because of better visibility.

Well the yellowish bulbs cut through rain and fog better then white. But white looks better haha. I'd rather the white bulbs and visibility during good conditions.

yellow headlights are illegal. you can get a ticket for it, but yellow fogs are fine.
its mainly for use in poor weather conditions. ie: rain, fog, etc.

i am planning to get yellow bulbs in jdm luminics brand for fogs, i heard they are brighter than nokya or any other brand.
for headlights if you dont wanna spend money on HID's its good t0 go with silverstar or piaa.

Yellow headlight is illegal in MA. You're just asking for a ticket from the police.
