it funny how years ago, right when this superwhite light business was starting, everybody was saying yellow sucks, white is 'kewl'. now almost everybody has white lights, and yellow is becoming the cool color again.

Do some research.

You get better road visibility with yellow.

During inclement weather, no doubt. But on dry pavement, I don't believe so. My research on this topic comes from my experience and what I've seen in 25 yrs of driving. I can understand yellow fogs, but not heads.

You can get them off ebay...I bought my nokya arctic white stage 2 off Ebay. Of course I have an upgraded harness for those. If you dont want to go through Ebay, www.southwestautoworks.com carries them.

Hmmm...I see that they have those bulbs in H3 also for fogs, but they are 70W. Isnt our foglights 55W?

Nice headlights though. Somebody in my town has yellow headlights on their Volvo. They are bright as hell and light everything up.

Nope your harness will melt if you do that. Mine did and I went to the dealer and bought new ones for $75 not thinking to check ebay.
