Does anybody know who sells real yellow hid bulbs?
Every 3k hid bulbs I oredered from different company never come out yellow yellow.
I dont want the yellow film.

 

Have you tried HIDextra.com??? Thats where i got mine. Both High Beam, and Fog lights. No Film

 

The light output and the Bulb output color will never be the same when working with HIDs
Youll have to expect that Yellow HIDs (3K) will deliver a Somehow yellowish light on the road but will look Some wierd light yellow on the Headlight! If you want true Yellow light go back to Halogen and anyway Yellow Lights on a TL aside from Fogs look Just Wrong...

 

Im will probably be changing all 3 of them to 6k. but here are some pics

Just Fogs


Fogs and Low Beams


Fogs, Low Beams, and High Beams

 

He's right. I'm doing Nokya 2500k Yellow halogen bulbs in my fogs. Other guys have too on the board anjd thats what changed my mind. I want to give my car some JDM touch and yellow fogs were a start. Circa 1st Gen IS300/Altezza. The Nokyas are cheap on Ebay. It'll be a big upgrade as you know the 2nd Gen TL's fogs are more like city lights. Low wattage. My 3.5 Gen fogs are 35watts which explains what I thought about them. The Nokyas are 55watt so they'll be way brighter than stock and give off a gold/yellow hue. If anyone here has Nokyas or PIAA Ion yellow bulbs please post. What size bulb is 2.5 Gen TL? My 3.5 Gen is H8.

 

2nd gen tl have 9006 bulbs

 

no hid kit will give you an extreme deep yellow like the nokya's or luminic's. they're hids so they're meant to be bright in the first place.

 

you can try using yellow capsules on the bulb, they will make it look deep yellow. but i'm not a fan of yellow overlays at all.

 

I did an HID conversion for my fog lights and I was also a little disappointed with the color. Its not as deep a yellow as I had expected. The only bulbs Ive seen with an acceptable yellow color are Philips'.

Philips Ultinon 3000k:



Google turns up a lot more images so you can see for yourself.

Good luck finding them. I remember finding one dealer online, but each bulb was almost $150 each. Beware of cheaper "licensed" Philips bulbs made in China.

I went the less expensive route and ordered yellow lamin-x film for the lens.

 

yeah i tired there 8k which looks like 10k, after that i didnt buy from them again. im trying to have that deep yellow look without having to use the film but i gusse that what im have to do.

 

my fav site of all..... for hid atleast.... VVME>COM .. pay the extra loot for the 3k..they r birght yellow.... that blue tl pic i dont believe is raw...that hue has to be messed with..that aaaalot of yellow..

 

If you want the piss yellow glow off the reflectors, get yellow halogens (the yellow you see on some Lexus's). 3000K HID's will reflect a light, but very bright yellow off the reflectors.

 

Yeah, I've been contemplating going back to yellow halogen, but only because I get tired of having to replace the HID bulb every year (at least one of the fog lights)

It's also a pain to have to keep turning my fogs on/off if I forget to turn them off BEFORE turning the car back on. They start playing peek-a-boo with me. Right now, one of them is purple when I turn them on but turns normal color when warmed...it's dying

 

just buy my 9006 Nokya's

 

i wired my fogs to the ignition....so they turn on n off by the switch when the key is in 1 or 2...BUT auto shut off when i take my key out...win win....

 

im going to try this website, ill let yall know how it turn out.

 

Damn that's pretty hot...but the problem is if I have them ON (button pushed in) when I turn the car on, only one turns on sometimes...then I have to turn them off and back on a time or two before they're BOTH on. (HID only)

 

Thats a Cheap Ballast problem, Also if you wire up your HIDs to the Ignition switch you will rape their life span. HIDs needs to charge once On if you start your engine they Will shut off cancelling their normal burn on effect.

If you are planning to Auto Turn on them buy a Relay Kit that doesnt allow them to shut off even when you crank the engine..

 

Don't those get too hot? I put those in my fogs and my lens gets super hot

 

yea something is wrong with the wiring or your ballast...

i dont have a relay....so if i get in the car they dont turn on until i let go of the starter....since i put the key in n crank it right away..i dont stop at 1 nor 2... but like i said in another thread..im going to add another wire that will give it power when the courtesy lights come on....so the burn in will happen while i walk to car n i get to enjoy them turning on like i do with my headlights...

ALLLLL hid get hot....if you buy the $30 ebay fogs...yes they will crack....its only a matter of time...im on my 3rd set....but...only because of rocks cracking it and shattering the glass to pieces... as of now its cracked cuz of the heat...but you only notice when you 3 ft away...as long as the glass is in one piece its staying on...

 

Yeah, I have the Xentec ones...would the battery have anything to do with that as well? I think my battery is weak/getting weak.

I just ordered a $9 relay kit for the HID fogs too.

 

I was talking about the nokya hyper yellows

 

I cant really tell since I dispossed the shitty OEM battery in favor for a Yellow Top (Audio +++). They have never turn off when I crank up the Engine, Thats when I forgot to turn them off since I use HID Fogs as a DRLs.

You can Try that for yourself hook one ballast positive to the battery instead of using the OEM Fog Cable and see if they turn off when you crank it, If they do Even with the relay kit your battery isnt Strong enough and they will flicker every time.
