Looks better than I thought yellow would. Did you try the Silverstars in the fogs or just the stock halogens?

Cool, just wondering how they compared. I have the opposite problem. I have Silverstars in the fogs and ExtraVision Halogens in the headlights. I just wish they could make the Silverstars for the headlights.

Looks like what Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfus) had in his rear view mirror in Close Encounters Of The Third Kind [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

To answer the title question, I think it would blind me comming behind me or at me. The yellow looks different, but not bad.

Also, where on LI are you? I'm assuming you are since you have work done at mustang magic.

It's nice to be able to see at night, shame no one else who is either in front of you or facing you will be able to see.

I hate HID's comming toward me or behind me, silverstars are almost as bad, worse if they are on a raised truck.

But so long as your happy.

I agree 100%. The HID's suck for everyone but you.

I did something similar with my Saleen HIDs. I found some Hoen yellow all-weather bulbs and they look pretty good. An intense pale amber, different than the stock fogs but not an obvious yellow either. I'll post pics when I get them. They make some Xenon match lights that look pretty good with the HID, too.

Nice product and fast shipping!

I wonder if you ever gave any thought of blinding on coming drivers and having a head on with them or causing them to run off the road?
Old Farts like myself have a very difficult time seeing at night without being blinded.

I think it all has to do with how the lights are installed on the car. I've had cars with really bright headlights behind me that were no problem, then others that wern't even that bright that drove me nuts.
