Which yellow bulbs?

Hi all. Now that I've got my Hella FF200 fog light kit installed, I'm looking into replacing the H3 bulbs with yellow one's. Who makes the best yellow bulbs? I've heard good things about the PIAA's but they are over $50. I can get Hella Yellowstar bulbs for <$15 while Nokya and Narva all weather are in the $20-$30 range.

I'm looking for a bright yellow light that keeps it's color through all viewing angles. Anyone have any suggestions?

See http://www.danielsternlighting.com/p.../products.html

2/3 way down ... selective yellow. You can get the bulbs from him. All other yellows are not as good. Not expensive either.

BTW, I have the same setup as you. Why are you going yellow? While selective yellow is very good, white will always provide more light.

I'm going for yellow because it has the look and performance in bad weather. While white might be brighter (not exactly a good thing in fog), yellow is easier to view. My friend had some as his low beams for a while and they really lit things up...that was until one of his campus security officers pulled him over as they aren't legal for low beams .

Thanks for the link to Daniel Stern. I've been on his site before but have never figured out how to order from him. It gives the prices but there's no links to order. Do I have to use the e-mail contact at the bottom of the page to order?

Yes, he answers quickly and is the best on anything to do with lights

Luminics makes a good Yellow bulb...and they come with a lifetime warranty i think...if one burns out return it and they will provide a new set
