i like them. i know one person on here had 1 yellow and 1 white. looks kinda cool but driving would suck. i got blue headlight film on decalfx.com you can get yellow too. its like 30 bucks. i got sylvania super bright lights to go with them and theyre brighter than the original ones even with the tint.

Damn me neither what happened to him.

To the OPP my friend had them on his, i drove it alot at night. Visibility is good depending on what bulbs you get for them. The sylvania Silverstar ultra are really good so visibility overall is extremely improved basically because you arent using the stock pos sealed devices.

Where can you get those at? I had just some yellow ebay bulbs and they were alright for a cheap bulb. Im sure those would be better.

In most states, those are illegal. It's not the color of the emitted light, but rather the color of the glass. I know that in Texas, a yellow illegal state, the law reads that the glass on the light housing must be clear. You can get around this with some H4 housings and yellow bulbs. I have a buddy that did this with some projector housings and yellow HIDs. Looks sick and is legal.

Stupid car laws are why I moved from VA (read: car-communist state) to TN. Yellow pops are sick.

They are not legal in any States as they are not DOT approved. Light output is horrible, yellow is only good for fogs. On top of that it looks dumb too.

They may not be legal, but compared to VA, TN doesn't give two shts about little car stuff.
