Lightbulb YeLLow Light Mod's - Need Feedback!?

Last week I was thinking of doing a Yellow Set Up for my High beam headlamp, Parking light, and Fog Light so I ordered the parts as follows:

168 PIAA Plasma Yellow
9005 Luminics JDM Yellow
AeroTect Yellow Fog Light Overlays

I got all the parts today even though I ordered them from different stores I got all the parts at the same time no complaint about it I'm even glad I got it on a Friday afternoon so I could go out Friday night and see how it looks.

Installing it wasn't that hard for the highbeam bulb and parking light you just have to remove some parts to get into that tight spot and yeah if you have some mechanical gloves - use them. For the overlays one word -> PATIENCE.

So here's some pics I took when everything was installed. Let me know what you think and if I should change it back to all white bulbs?

I've been had this combination since the beginning. It looks awesome! Well done my friend, well done

Only thing I recommend is getting the high wattage harness for the DRL or it'll melt the OEM harness, it did to mines.

Sorry, not feeling the yellow high beam and parking light. Looks like overkill to me.

Wow! It looked good on the Integra... somehow, it doesn't seem right on 2IS. Perhaps it's the head light shape? Maybe it's just me.

maybe not for the parking light, but the yellow DRLs look pretty good. i might have to go for these, since i wanna keep my highbeams for flashing fast lane hoggers.

Default thanks!

Good Look on all the feedback! 2 nights has pass since I installed the light mods and I notice I got more head-turns when I'm passing by someone. Maybe they're saying "Wat da hell is that IS doing with yellow lights?" or "hey that's what's up!" hahaha

Anyways I do like the mod for now maybe I'll change it when I get bored on how it looks. It was raining last night here at NJ and I don't know if it was just me but the yellow lights help out a lot last night for me when driving in the rain, especially the highbeam. I'm loving the Yellow DRL.
