I was working on the truck today & noticed that I need to paint the housings on my fog lights (aftermarket lights in stock location) and I thought while I had the lights off I might swap the old clear H3 halogen bulbs for some new H3 xenon bulbs...

Then....I ran across some Yellow H3 xenon bulbs on evilBay & I thought it would be nice to have this set (aftermarket lights in stock location) of lights throw yellow light & my new set mini fog/driving lights with blue/white H3 xenon bulbs.

Has anyone used yellow xenon bulbs?
Do they actually output yellow light or do they look basically the same as the blue H3 xenon bulbs?

Thanks

 

Are you reffering to a an HID system (which uses xenon bulbs) or those halogens with colored glass that are falsely marketed as xenon?

 

The cheap halogen (xenon gas) bulbs.

 

I have them and they do look yellow. Its cool on snowy roads at night but in the daytime they look light yellow. I am getting yellow HID fog foights which are around $80.00 on ebay, they are deeper yellow and brighter.

 

hmm just run a hid kit in your fog lights.. 3000k hids ftw

 

I would, but I'm too cheap to spend the $$$ for real HID's

I didn't want to spend the $80 each for OEM fogs to replace my broken ones... the lights I have now are $10 each WallyWorld specials.

 

Uhh I foudn replacement fog lights for 25 a light.. And the hids are 68 shipped..

 

That's what I was hoping.
The set I saw was 5000k yellow, about $10 a pair shipped.

I had an old set of fogs that had yellow lenses & reflectors but used clear H3 bulbs. They looked cool on snow... until somebody broke them.

 

Haha, Well i am ordering a replacement light this week and i am ordering 3000k fogs which are yellow and ill show you what it looks like in snow since utah should be getting some soon. I think i can sell you on hids =]

 

halogen lights dont have xenon. they have halogen... lol

 

I guess I should start calling them Halogen (xenon look-a-like) H3 bulbs

most of the listings state "H3 Xenon Gas HID Headlight bulbs".
I know for $10 they won't be true xenon, but as long as they look pretty close to the real thing.

Anything is an improvement... My old lights are turning yellow on their own.

 

Really?

Do you remember where you found them?

My local Ford Stealership wanted $40 just for one lens, not including the housing or bulb.

 

i get my HID bulbs for 4.99.. and they are really hid.. take a look here:

man, i would totally save up for some real HID's. its worth it and you can find em cheap on ebay. ive seen em as low as $60 a set.

 

i got mine from the above link for like 60 shipped or something and i have had zero issues.. except they are just so DAMN bright. haha.

 

Yeah those HID 'bulbs' are garbage, my friends bought them and they're worse than stock.
