Default Red or yellow

What's up everyone...
So I wanna put some color on my high beams. I was thinking red or yellow. Can't decide on which one. Need some help. My car is frost white with beige interior. Here are some sample pics. Just the high beams.

Personally i think the stock headlights look best. For a quick look that white and red looks ok but i dont think i could stand that everyday and the red headlights could likely get you in trouble with the law due to lights being similar color to emergency services vehicles

I have red and yellow spray can tint and window tint in both colors. I was also thinking of pearl also. I like the red because it's diffrent and I like the yellow because it looks clean and it's traditional I had yellow fogs on my ls430 and it made a big difference. And yeah I know about the cops out here in California bay area smh

You might get hassle from cops with red, it's typically against the law to have red lights on the front of your vehicle... it also looks super tacky.

^ this. Prepare to face the consequences with red lights. Worst case scenario, a police officer thinks you're impersonating an officer.

I'm also going to remove my black tint and go with a brownish tint. I wanted to do the black and white them but a guy backed out on me on parting his car out.

You're going To have poor light output. Like other have mentioned, red is just asking for a ticket. Yellow would be the better option. Also! It's easy to achieve the yellow look. Just park your car in the sun and never wash your headlights.
