I would say use it for your fogs. I dont know actually. It could just be asking are you allowed to use yellow bulbs for low beam. I would like to know too.

Going yellow and lowering the light temperature will lead to massive loss of visibility. Why dont you go 6000k high beams and then hit the fogs with 3000k yellows.

Actually, that is what I will be doing, but I want to try the 3000k bulbs on my headlights since I just got a shipment of them on my inventory.

I don't have 9006 3000k bulbs in stock, but I can get them rebased into 9006 by machine.
E-mail me at akinaboy@hotmail.com.

im guessing they would be illegal since we arent supposed to have yellow as a headlight option. the govt bitched about yellow fogs but let them slide
