Yellow Headlights

Im thinking about getting a set of Mtec's in yellow, I just wanted to ask you guys a few questions first. Number one, is it legal, will i have any problems with the cops with yellow head lights? Number two, how is the light output with yellow lights, does it make it easier or harder to see at night? Third, if anyone has night or day pics of yellow headlights can you please post them.

Mtec golden styles arent a "pure yellow" color... Pure yellow would be illegal

Yes, they are more yellowish than any headlight on the road though.

The light is very bright but, the cosmo blues are brighter

I got some pics if you want them IM me, EUR0MX

I have both in stock if you want some

H4 is one bulb, but has both high and low beam in it. so just buy 2 H4 bulbs (or 1 set) and you'll be straight.
