Yellow bulb for low beam - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

golemslord · 12-04-2015, 04:02 AM

Was wondering if I replace say 2500k nokya h11 hyper yellow halogen bulb for my low beam, will it reduce the visibility compared to the stock oem h11 bulbs. Thanks

EDIT: yellow headlight prob illegal at where I live. Decided to go nokya stage 1 7000k halogen bulbs for low beam instead. Are these bulbs any good ? Looking for a white light and decent brightness

Back in the day, (1930's) all we had was low beams and they were sort of yellow and we couldn't see worth a darn ...... so, why do you want to go back to that ......

Got to go ......med time, for my geritol and metamucil, and off to count sheep ....ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

nokya is cheap IMO, i dont mindd using them for the fog lights because the factory housings put out very little light, already have to replace mine once or twice already

look into a nice quailty HID set like from Diode Dynamic... they will give you the light out put you want...

Agree with the HID kit. Light output from the Nokya 7k bulbs in low beams isn't that great. It's just a halogen bulb that's painted over so id imagine output is decreased.

Looks better than the stock low beams though

I popped some pills like 3hrs ago+ and woke up in a McDonald's parking lot. Last I remember I was driving 40min away.... Zzz

I'm also looking at different headlights. I want a tad more shine. Maybe I'll just invest in really bright yellow fog lights.

If you want a white light that's bright don't do anything past 6k unless you like things being ricey stay between 5000k-6000k anything above that and you lose usable light. Also skip those cheap colored Nokya, phillips "diamond vision" halogen bulbs those are dim and spotty at best, they die quickly due there increased wattage and when you add a color over the bulb like they do you lose light output. Save your money up and get a true HID kit from someone like @DiodeDynamics or mishimoto you won't regret it because for $150 they make quality stuff and warranty there stuff...

DANG, Packofcrows, you got it all twisted up ......

The idea is to already be near a bed, then give the other person some pills ....

I had both nostrils clogged, running mini fever, dried throat and teary eyes. I had work today so I said, "I might as well take an extra pill...or two....or three...." I over did it. Learned my lesson. I did wake up much better though! Just no energy.

...sorry OP

Taken from *another* (ahem) webpage:

Doctor: Madam, your husband needs rest and peace, so here are some sleeping pills.
Wife: Doc, when should I give them to him?
Doctor: They are for you.
