Default Accord Lights?

So I have an 01 Accord and would like to make my high beam yellow to make it look like the DA integra yellow fogs. What should I do? Should just buy yellow light if so what kind?

Thanks

if you want it to be both yellow and very bright..

www.ddmtuning.com and buy a 3000k hid kit.. raptor if you are on a budget, regular DDM if you are not..

some yellow halogen bulbs but you are never really sure what colour you are going to get with these..
Yellow HID's arnet bad though, they put out an insane amount of light but are easier on the eyes than white or blue hid's (4500k+) so even if you are worried about blinding someone, the yellow really wouldnt be a problem I can also assume that the stock optics on those lenses would be good enough for hid

MAJOR no no.

Putting HID's in the high beams is going to be "easy on the eyes" ? No, far from it. VERY far from it. The light will be overbearingly bright and scattered everywhere.

What the OP is trying to do is the DRL with half-powered bulbs. The easiest is to get something like Luminics (spelling might be wrong on that) you can get them on eBay for fairly cheap, maybe $20 or so and then follow any DRL installation tutorial. You can alternatively purchase a DRL kit on eBay as well. A user on Honda Society did it and they look fairly good.

I don't think you've ever actually been in front of yellow hids. I had 3000k in my fog lights which are a projector format. And even with that there is minor glare. Putting them in the high beam portion of a reflector headlight is a horrible idea.
