I really want to install a set of driving lights on my S14.
I want something that is functional, and doesnt look ricey.
Im not really sure wether to get white or yellow, yellow is very tempting but I dont want them to look obnoxious.

Does anyone out there have any ideas? Has anyone installed a set on their car?
Grant? Dave2u? Ive seen yours and they look good, what are they?
I do have a concern about wether they will be in the way when I put my turbo kit on in a few months, but I guess Ill cross that bridge when I get to it.

Yellow is to flashy and makes a car look "pissy". Example would be park under a yellow street lamp, your car probably would not look that great, now would you want that type of light being emitted by your car. My opinion no, it gives the car a yellow "aura" at night, I wish I could put it in better words. Anyway I would go with round, white lights (please, please and please again, aim them, and by aim I do not mean at people's eye's)and alittle over 1 inch in diameter, If you ever go turbo you would'nt have to worry about them, they'd hardly be 2 inches in diameter, not exactly restricting air flow. I'm sure someone here has exact models that can help you out to.

Well Im gonna bump this up for another round and see if I can get a few more replies. I want to buy lights this weekend and would really appreciate a bit more info.
ca18guy, I agree with you, I think I will go with white.
Does anyone know if somebody makes a set designed for an S14, did any S14's come with them from the factory? Does the S15 have them, and if so will they fit an S14?

Come on guys give me something here <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

is there anyway to make the stock s14 foglights white or blue?  they have a yellow lense in them, can i order a different one?  or take it out?.. any thoughts?  

(other option is ditch them and install them on my dads jimmy and get new ones for myself)
