Yellow headlights.

[munky30]

Been toying with the idea of doing something a bit different to the traditional smoked lights. Euro style yellow is appealing but I'm not 100% convinced...

Opinions? Favourites?

[maxfield]

I think they are awful! Just my opinion though.

[fuzzy]

if i was id go for all 4 yellow but i dont think i would. whats the legal stance on it,is it allowed on uk cars?

[munky30]

No idea on the legal side of it.. its legal in the eu so in theory its fine over here.

max; you think your dads car looks good, nuff said.

I think they are legal seen quite a few cars over here with yellow lights so would of thought so.

[Ziggy]

They look pretty cool... smoked is just the obvious choice on your car though - seems silly not to.

[munky30]

yeah but its toooooo obvious.... I think.....

And a lot more effort than slapping some yellow tint on them

[buster]

they look good.Omi has them on his IS and they look good.

[aceraf]

IMO...
I've always hated yellow lights, and on your car, they make me want to

Go for smoked....you know you want to

[munky30]

think I'll get some yellow stuff and see what they look like for real. If they look gash I'll just wipe it off with some thinners and smoke them.

I like smoked lights, just think they're a bit predictable on my car and a bit common.

[d6dph]

Yellow ones are easy to do tho, just p*ss in the lamps and job done

(Are you a closet frenchy or something Joe?)

[munky30]

No, as far as I know I'm the product of a londoner (my mum) and some sort of italian waitor (the alleged affair)... though my dad (a londoner) would probably disagree.

[tailoutcharlie]

the yellow looks ok on all four. but i still think yours would look better smoked. since when has anything about your car been predictable

[1an]

why not, looks different, not that your car is already different, dare to be different - set a trend.

[m3ben05]

I really hate yellow light but tbh they look pretty good on your car

[shane325i]

I reckon you should go for for it fella,keep driving past one local to me with yellow headlights and it looks great on a dark car

[oguz327]

I had these on my black 323i back in the day, i like it, something different and works well on black

[Kos]

for those concerned about legality, as long as they are RHD then all is fine

[bogus]

[jaffro]

i think the yellow looks good and makes it even more unique

[Chris]

In a word.......NO

I would leave the lights standard, polish them up a bit so they shine nice aswell. it gives a nice little bit of contrast to the general moodiness of your wee beasty.

The twin lights look good when they stand out. thats why they are there. and seperated into two lamps.

And anyway, smoked headlights look naff. Might as well have a black board on the front of ya car instead of a grill and lights.

Just my opinion though. Even though it is right

Joe, get some of your legendary Hhcote out and get busy.

Way you drive, you dont need lights

[DrBen]

Dude, I love the yellow. both yellow looks great. do it!

[munky30]

You've never seen me drive!

I'll have you know (on the roads) I am a very sensible driver... hence not practicing drifting on roundabouts and every corner I find... and thus being entirely shit at it.

I'm thinking maybe smoke the dips and do the fulls in yellow...

I like the way the smoked dips look, but the crosshair thingy doesnt do a very good job of the full beams imo..

Do you need full beams for mot/road legality? I could hycote them

thinking back to family holidays in france in the '80s i think twin headlighted cars had the dipped (outer) headlights yellow and the others left white. I could be wrong but I think this will give a sophisticated euro look. My mum's Renault 5 came with yellow fog lights from the factory...

[munky30]

What are they?

If they didnt have gay angle eyes I'd be tempted... Are they E-Marked?

Not keen on the half and half look... if I do it they'll both be yellow... but I have more important things to do to it atm, like make the engine stop breaking/replace it... so styling is low on the list atm.

[Jhonno]

smoked yellows..

[ZedOne]

FU@K IT......do the smoked route, but use flourescent orange on crosshairs etc instead of black...

No one could predict that one....

[gooner1]

Munky, go for it mate. Think look good and there certainly different............. atm.

[ZedOne]

but use flourescent orange on crosshairs etc instead of black...

Kinda like the way they put red mirrors on the Mercedes DTM cars.

You wondered why the feck they did that, but also thought it looked cool in an odd sort of way.....a bit like your car really!

They could have put pink mirrors on that and it would still look cool.

[munky30]

They do it so the team cars can be told apart. One would have yellow and one red, for instance.

And bruce... nice idea.... I'll erm... yeah I'll think about that one and probably never do it.

[ZedOne]

yeah I'll think about that one and probably never do it.

No sense of adventure!

I honestly reckon it'd look cool on a matt black motor.....but then what do I know? - I drive a jacked up toaster for fu@k sake!
