Default Yellow Headlights?

Was at an autocross last Sunday and there was a white GT3 (997) there that had yellow colored headlights. Are those eeuro? Looked kinda cool. Where do you get them and how much are they?

don't do it. its for visibility in foggy conditions, its illegal on the street, and looks dumb on a street car.

Agreed. However, if you really want them, stiickercity.com sells them.

I bought them for my GT3, but with one slighty different detail. Mine are clear! The purpose in my case is to protect the light housing just like clear bra is used to protect the paint. They sell a kit which covers both the headlights and fog lights for under $100 I believe. It is 18 or 20 mil thickness which is thicker than the standard paint protection, but needed for the plastic housing to give them real protection.

We also have white headlights since 1993 .
In fact, it seems a yellow light is better for anti-fog lights.
