I for one, hate yellow tinted lights. I think it looks stupid and it's a fad that'll fade really quick. On another note, clear vinyls would be great for Zenki headlights to protect them from turning yellow.

Yes.

Nothing good in the world has ever been painted yellow. It is the worst color.

First off, they make yellow lensed lights. Hella makes yellow bulbs. They are DOT legal, and I carry around the paperwork to show any cop that thinks otherwise.

Next up, yellow headlights improve your night vision dramatically. It may not seem like it, but it does. The brain registers movement in yellow light faster than it does with white light, and far faster than it does with those blueish HID's. This is the reason European cars came OEM with them, but manufacturers found that they were not aesthetically pleasing to customers, causing the switch to white.

Just some food for thought.

Agreed. My brother has them on his 2.5 RS in the headlights and fogs and they look sick IMO... it is really great for night and winter driving as well.

If yellow lights is a "fad," I would choose it over some of the other stupid 240 fads out there The film I dont know about, but I like the bulbs on the right car. Is a 240 the right car? Hard to say- give it a shot!

Not sure if tint would be the way to go. If you want yellow, get yellow. Those cheap yellow lensed housings they sell on Ebay work great if you swap out the bulbs with quality ones.

If you want yellow headlights without the tint or lense, get the bulbs.

I for one love that euro look. I was planning on doing it to my fogs when I got the chance. Bradt you took the words right outta my...brain. Seriously, why do you think the stock fogs for most are yellow; 240sx, Honda, Subaru, BMW. Not to mention in the 24hr Le Mans many cars including Corvette C6.R use it on their headlights.

I vote yes my friend for function and aesthetics
