I have been using H4 Ion Crystal bulbs for a while. They produce a yellow beam. If your looking for the actual headlight assembly, I don't think they're available unless you use a yellow film. The only draw-back would be losing some light output.

Me too, I got them for the bad weather up here (central PA in the winter, 90% of my driving is done when it is actually snowing) and I left them in year round. 3 years later I still like them, I too like the JGTC and Lemans cars with their yellow lenses, you could always buy yellow spray tinting or some transparent model car paint and paint the inside of the lenses.

BTW, are your bulbs CATZ?

you can DIY
they are called headlight manicure.
and it's tinted using same stuff for womens manicure.
you need to paint the layer of it inside or even outside and put a layer of heat coat and it can be done. Ive seen it with blue and other colours as well and it looks fairly good

anybody sell somethin like that lamin-x for tail lights? i want to have tinted tails, but not ruin stock ones so itll sell easier later on. plus if i get pulled over, i can just peel it off or somethin to get outta the ticket. now that i think about it, will that static window tint from back in the day work? or will water and stuff get behind it easy.

They're made by a company called Li-Tech. They seem to work the best in the fog, which gets pretty thick up here in the poconos. Plus they don't draw attention to the car, like some other bulbs.

I'm about to switch to Hid's soon, so I think I'll put some yellow bulbs in the fogs.

I don't get it. First, white and blueish headlights are the thing to have becuase the stock headlights on vehicles are often yellowish and apparently not "cool". Now they are making bulbs that are meant to be yellowish? WTF?

i'm pretty sure that the headlights you saw on the 350Z were JDM products. and if thats the case then you'll be sure you wont find anything like that easily for our cars. um... oh yeah, they only have the sedan in japan too, no coupe.

Before you revert to name calling and making yourself sound like a fool you should get your facts straight.
Yellow bulbs were around way before Crazy ricers(<--your words) started trying to replicate the hid look.
Until the mid 1990s, headlamps in France were required to produce yellow light. The yellow-tinted light doesn't glare as much in rain, fog, or snow. These bulbs have been used by myself and others with positive results when driving in these conditions.

I agree, but they excel in adverse conditions compared to regular bulbs.

People need to know the facts before they jump to conclusions, yourself included. Mind your business son.
