lol thanks, but actually im talking about the lowbeam.

i think 6k D1S looks the best, here is a sample shot of MTEC D1S in 6k side by side with OEM which is rated at 4300k

Worst. Idea. Ever.
Safety > Looks. Remember that next time you're driving down a windy road with a loved one in the car and a deer jumps out in front of you. Will you see the deer, or not?

Yellow headlights aren't really functional, and frankly, they're annoying from a driver having to see them perspective.

Shazmonkee · 12-21-2009, 05:53 PM

^i disagree with you on this one.

dirtyylicous · 12-21-2009, 06:45 PM

Not really feeling the yellow low beams. Have you considered 6 or 8k with 3k fogs?
That imo is the best combo for looks and vision

lonestar22 · 12-30-2009, 08:02 AM

6k and 8k dont have more visability than stock. 8k is for looks only and should be left for the ricers. how can u say you cant see with 3k headlights? why do lemans cars use them then. im pretty sure 3k headlights would own in bad weather

Jaybreeze · 12-30-2009, 09:15 AM

yellow is actually safer in wet weather because it does not reflect as much, and the lighting output is not much less then or the same as 6000k or 8000k... 3000k looks good in angels and fogs... i was thinking about doing all 3 also...

It will not attract attention to police because the only colors authorized in the front are yellow, white and amber... and red and amber in the rear..

Good luck with the mod...

lonestar22 · 12-30-2009, 01:28 PM

i agree with you besides what you said about attractive police. everyone i know that has rocked yellows has been pulled over for it. even though the light output is amazing

I had them on my celica, I could see better at night.
