Unhappy Yellow Yellow Yellow Yellow!!!

Alright, here is the scoop.

So I love the "yellow" look our fog lights produce....

My condoms broke so I decided to remove them and buy some hyper white bulbs to see how they would look.

I miss my yellow fogs, and I have bought three sets of so called "yellow" fog lights off of ebay, only to find that when they arrive that the bulb is clear w/a rainbow tint to it... Those look like a nasty pale factory headlight yellow.

Short of going to a glassblowing shop and getting some new condoms made... does anyone know of a bulb that will produce a yellow light as intense as the original yellow. Or anyway I can make the damn bulb yellow... clear paint? Some of those high temp "bulb sleeves" made out of rubber that come in different colors?

Dammit...

It is a bummer, I am having a similar issue. Condoms aren't broke, but 1 of my headlights is brand new, so the new fog is bright yellow, and the old fog is all faded and nasty. 2 completely different colors of yellow. SUCKS, and looks stupid.

2. be unannoyed.

Its REALLY foggy here in the winter. Sometimes cant see 20 feet in front of you. The foglights make a HUGE difference.
