Default Yellow DRL Anyone..

Amazon Amazon

So i'm thinking about running these yellow lights on my wedge bulbs. I did some searching and found that they are the best/closest match to the 3k HID fog lights. Anyone here running them on a 2GS ? I'm not a fan of putting ultra bright white or blue bulbs in there so I wanna go a different route with yellow. Any feedback and pictures would be appreciated!

PIAA is an excellent brand. My fog lights are halogen PUTCO JET YELLOW's, which are also outstanding for halogens.

If you want the 3000K HID Color, go with an HID kit. Halogen bulbs that are colored yellow will give you a slightly more yellow look, but if you want the deep and bright yellow color, nothing beats an HID 3000K yellow IMO.

I disagree. I prefer the look of a yellow halogen over a Green/Yellow HID Kit. Very rarely I see a quality 3k kit.

No green in our kits (maybe at warm up, but once it's fully warm, it's deep yellow).

Damn I forgot to update! So I install the piaa bulbs in my wedge bulbs and I really like the way it looks! It's not really 3k yellowish but it does look good with my 3k fogs. I also installed nokya yellow bulbs in my high beams those look sweet when I use the high beams, can't really see the yellow with the running lights on kinda looks a little more yellowish than stock.

Here's some pics. from my phone you can't really see the yellow too clear from the pics. and a rear shot showing off the 3k fogs

Piaa are the best halogens imo. Raybrig and polarg are good too.
