yellow pop up headlights

[sLip techniques]

Has anybody ever done a yellow headlight conversion on there coupe or fastback?

[kandyflip445]

The stock ones are yellow. :rofl:

Are you talking like fog lights?

[sLip techniques]

:) haha nah, im meaning the hid yellow like this http://www.luminicsbulbs.com/jdm_yellow.php you see how that bmw is? like that...

[AllenRPS13]

i have installed that before, it's hella YELLOW!!! also, quite bright! Luminics headlights are pretty good tho...

[Phlip]

I already think it is a bad idea, but are those even legal?

[S14DB]

Going out for the JGTC or Grand Am anytime soon? Any light that's not white is not DOT legal.

[qt_240]

yeah illegal.. my buddy had it on his EK.. there hella YEllow.. it looks sick though

[kandyflip445]

^Any proof? Cause s2000 have a blueish tint to the headlights stock. Denali's have a purplish. BMW's have blue look but that is because of the cut off and they're actually 4100k. Same for Audi's and such. Also cars come with fog lights, which are not the same as driving lights, on a lot of cars.

[RedlineRacer]

its says on the site that they are "Completely Street Legal"

[kandyflip445]

Over hear you just can't run FLASHING red, white, or blue without a red light licence. So people won't mistake your for an emergency vehicle.

in the BMW world, they generally dont use yellow bulbs. they use yellow laminex to cover the headlight housing. its known as "frenching" your headlights. or "frenched" fogs. IMO, frenched headlights looks good if you dont have amber corner lights. otherwise, only fog lights look good. im basing this all off the look of the E36 M3 i ALMOST bought..

how did you install them? h4 housing with h4 bulbs?

[the head]

frenching is a body term used for a custom recessing of a body element putting some yellow shit on your headlights is not called frenching

I am basing this on the frenched antennas and headlights my buddy and I did on his 56 merc

[SirWarrior]

My brother had them on his EG.
Looked good. A lot better visibility in dark or rain/snow.

What amazes me is that they put JDM in front of everything now and charge you extra. Yep pay 5bux more to be JDM yellow!!!

[kandyflip445]

Yeah my bluish HIDs don't look so bright on the ground when it rains on blacktop.

[sLip techniques]

yeah i saw them on a crx (fast one i may add too) and they looked hella sick. So all i would need is h4 housing and the h4 luminics? and possibly better wiring?

its also oldschool for moulding fenders, bumpers, etc. hey man, i hung out in a few BMW forums. they would refer to yellow headlights and fogs as "frenched".


EDIT: but if you still insist i made it up, here you go.

to be honest.. i dont.. but my buddy got a ticket for his headlights.. that blusih tint you see.. is from the projector... my dads bmw M5 has it as well as well as other HIDs projectors.. www.HIDforums.com to learn more..

[S14DB]

It's the color of the light on the ground(the output) not the color of the projector is what they should look for. If a cop pulls you over and says your headlights aren't white ask him to stick his hand in the beam and see that it is white.

[sLip techniques]

which do you guys suggest between the luminics or nokya?

[AllenRPS13]

yes, i install them with h4 housing
nokya is not bright... luminics is brighter

[lucky7]

^^yes nokya's are not bright at all.

[sLip techniques]

alright koo i just bought some luminics tonight :coold:

That's what I was trying to say without rewriting my post in another thread. Qt didn't get what I was saying. The cut off is what makes it appear blue to the oncoming driver that's why when you see a car with those and it goes over a bump it flickers. When you look on the ground you see pure white light. :fawkd:

[sticky240]

anyone have a pic of how yellow these are at night? Do they look like amber fog lights?

[sLip techniques]

there most likely yellow like the sun :naughty: amber would be too dark

[locodrftr]

ive seen some cars with that yellow and man are they bright annoying as hell, i guess thats why touring cars use them to try and distract drivers

[sLip techniques]

lol probably, i wouldnt be suprised if that was another reason besides visibility.

[Andrew Bohan]

yellow popups remind me of the idiot who does stupid shit at uc tapex.
