Default Nokya High Beam Bulbs

I just ordered a set of 2500k noyka bulbs for the high beams, and was wondering if anyone else here has them to? I didn't really look into them, but only paid $10 so why not. On an unrelated note just bought new k&n air filter, oem cabin filter, and a set of new continental dws tires. Also need the car to get tinted, just deciding on 20% or 35%.

Car is completely stock haha, I'm not into the drops, spoilers, rims, camber, ect. I figure fort he high beams it would be functional, and since i don't have drls they won't be constantly running. I will put up some pics once the weather gets better, it only has 62k miles on it, barely driven it since i've gotten it.

i run 2500k on all my high beams, since its DRL aswell it looks nice and gold.. Good choice over LEDS and blue tinted ones which dont really help with lighting up the road

how are hi beams functional when it really isn't an everyday thing?

Might as well do a whole LED swap on the interior and swap out the exterior bulbs.

What does the interior have to do with anything?

The high beams on some cars are DRL during the day..very functional

LEDs for high beams is Very functional though

Yellow was used in all the old rally cars because it was proven to illuminate the most, especially in bad weather. I wanted my high beams to actually be usable since i do end up driving in the middle of no where a lot.(need to be reaimed though) As for the interior, it has already all been converted to LEDs along with the parking lights. The car also has the OEM HID low beams with auto-leveling and yellow fog lights.

^I've always loved the yellow fog lights, ever since i saw them on the old mercedes sel's. I got lucky in that the guy before me converted everything to leds. Weird cause i was expecting it to be owned by an old guy since it was religiously maintained at the lexus dealership, even for stuff like windshield wipers.

i dont have pics with it on but you can see them in the background, the Parking lights take the yellow away when the low beams are on, so the yellow only shines on DRL or high beam mode which is perfect.

Very nice, I sometimes regret not getting black, but silver was a nice change. Here you can just barely see the led city lights, looks great at night. Ill get good pictures of the car eventually.

A simple misunderstanding , just added them, they are really bright and illuminate everything
