It's most likely a yellow bulb. The tint around the actual bulb reflects in the housing, making the housing look yellow even when the lights are off.

[Edd240]

do you know what kinda bulbs those are?? like brand or anything

They make plastic gels that overlay the headlamps. Many AE86, S12/S13 and Miata owners use them on their headlamps and foglamps. I never considered doing that on the Kouki lamps but it came out rather well... something to consider...

There is actually someone on Zilvia with a black Zenki that has that film on his headlamps and corner lamps. Turned out very nice but I wouldnt do it to a Zenki of any other color than Black.

zenki lights turn yellow by themselves anyway. just trade your clear ones for someone else's yellow ones :squintd:
