good choice, just be sure when you do use them ... that there is a good reason. Cops will pull you over for any possible reason = and you'd probably get a fix it ticket.

We are both in CA. , and from the info. I have.. its illegal to have a yellow/colored fog light - which I think is total BS .... and I'm not even so sure how/why this is even a legal matter- someone/somewhere must have sued someone in CA. saying they got blinded by the other motorists crazy bright fog light

Some states like Texas have no laws in with regards to lighting issues. Its pretty much all West coast or East coast states who have issues.... I wonder why that is (hint.. hint... possibly where much/most of the people sueing others happens.

I hope to be doing my cross country drive next Dec/Jan. I would have gone this year.. but a certain crack-head got in the way(long story.. I'll explain later).

Actually,you see your body first when you die, then it occurs to you, how I can see myface if I am............But there is this over whelming feeling of comfort, likea nice warm hot tub. No pain, universal understanding when you read something of meet someone, you know what people around your body are doing and why, but they cant hear or see you.

From time to time I seethis lexus that has like silver stars heads and hid 4300k fogs andman, its just effing bright. I see a fewer high end benzs have both halogen and hid lamps.

Hmmm, I was unaware that yellow fogs were illegal in CA. Interesting as I see some Cadillac's with low mount DRL's all the time. I hope I don't get messed with due to having Nokya's in my VRD's. I have passed by some cops and highway patrol without being stopped and I use my VRD's as DRL's

Lexus has them yellow as well on one model I think. I believe in CA it;s illegal to mod anything actually. I see really bright yellow fogs once in a while in my area and it's like. Dam how does he do that! They are such an attention getter. So I guess I will need to be careful.

Well I can feel them looking at me. Seriously! Today while at the red I had the windows open and no music. I had this horrible feeling. I looked back and saw two cops on bikes staring into my car talking amongst themselves nodding!

I figured they saw my radar detector and or my JDM JP tassel and were deciding if they wanted to stop me or not

But dam I have the third eye at times with Cops.

They were checking your "seat cover", kind of like Lt. Jim Dangle!

Cool! Just keep in mind the Nokya bulbs are REALLY not very bright. I am sure even at 3000k they will not be half a bright as an HID. I would be allot less worried with just he bulbs. I have seen Yellow HID's on some cars in LA and you can't help but stare.
