Complete PIAA Plasma ION Yellow Lighting Set
I got rid of the 8000k HID set and decided to get a complete PIAA ION Yellow set to match the ones I have in my VRD Foglights... One of my PolarG parking lights also burned out in the highbeam's, so I replaced those as well with the PIAA ION's... It's REALLY yellow 
... I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like it, especially with the price tag on the H11's 
... Check them out, I think it turned out pretty sweet 
...
Ignore the clear bulbs in the H3's, those are the ones that came with the VRD's
Parking Lights:
Parking and Foglights:
All on:
Close Up:
Distance from inside car:
Wall Shots:
I'm happy with the way everything turned out

well...the temp is probably around the 2500k range so output is reduced. i also had a similar setup before and it worked out fine. i pesronally find it harder to see with 7000-8000k lights...

Looks cool, the fogs and parking lights are cool the headlights are over doing it imo. I remember when honda's and acura's used to rock those yellow headlight bulbs, that was a while back though. Good thing you dont live in Cali, otherwise you'd be pulled over almost instantaneously lol.

^Hmmm, that's interesting... I didn't think the yellow ones would be illegal... I passed by a few cops tonight, they didn't seem to mind, and cops over here get you for anything...
