Cool Hyper Yellow Bulbs! anyone else in love?

So I fell in love with this on my old 91 LS, now that I have my new 97 LS Coach Edition....I could not wait to do it again! I have never seen another LS400 with this done so I will claim I AM THE FIRST!!! until otherwise proven So I didn't feel like spending hundreds for HIDs so I went with Silverstar ULTRAS for my High and low beams, my fog lights parking lights and blinkers are all hyper yellow. Looks amazing with clear bumper lights!!! Who knows.....maybe I can start a new craze heheh
Let me know what you think!!



Here is a shot of my old 91 a bit over 2 years ago

i have since changed that all around though, so you may be the only current one.

Haha I forgot about that.. I wonder if I still have it posted as "FOR SALE" lol
I've come to learn all the yellow lights is kind of a love it or hate it thing!

I had no idea there was such a difference between 1st gen and 2nd gen LS's. If only I knew then what i know now!
I still loved my 91 but the 2nd gen is so much more refined

dont really see the point of posting this up in both lighting and LS forums but OK

i wouldnt claim to be first at anything unless it was something truly original

i ran yellow fogs back in like '04/05 with my old LS, then got bored and just replaced them with silverstars while waiting for HIDs 6months later

Why do some find it necessary to include the images when they reply to a post? It's kind of annoying and pretty redundant to have to scroll through the same images over and over again in the same thread because they weren't removed from the replies.

Anyways, I think those Hyper Yellows look great!

Yeah - I got tired of the white not quite matching the headlights - yellow/amber just look cool.

I just wasn't a big fan of White, yellow, AND orange. So I figured i'd condense the colors and even things out

my bumper markers are amber as well. I think a colored bulb would ricefy my car up front just a tad.
