I installed some 65W 2500K yellow 9005 bulbs for a highbeam (and DRL) replacement. I wanted something different than stock but I didn't want to try to match my low beams. I realize that 2500K is on the low-end of the spectrum but I never expected them to be so dim when the high beams are on. I read of others who switched to yellow and they sounded so pleased with the brightness of the yellow high beams. Mine also seem to be pointed so high...all I did was pull the old bulbs out and put the new ones in...it's like I re-aimed them at the moon!

Has anyone else had a bad experience with yellow 9005s for high beams? I don't want to go back to stock or match my lows; I just want to see beyond my lows on all of the country roads I drive on!

 

I had 9005 Yellow Nokyas for my highbeams and they were great! 2500k is supposed to give you really good visibility and mine definitely did not point at the moon

 

Anyone else out there with yellow 9005 high beams?

 

i have a 2011 tsx. i have a 9005 luminics 3k bulb from my old rsx and i was hoping it fit. but i hear the drl is same bulb as high beam. would it be ok to use?
