buying E-Code H-4 lights. Which bulbs should I get?
I am going to purchase 2 E-Code H-4 headlights to replace the sealed beam units on my '83 944. I am undecided as to which bulbs to buy. Which color K would you guys recomend or have used and loved. I am tempted to try the Yellowstar bulbs as I have the Silverstar hyperwhites in my wifes minivan and find the white light harder to see.
What do you guys think? Options are 1) Halogen color K = 3150K 2) Xenon +50 color K = 3250K 3) Xenon XP color K = 4000K 4) Xenon XY color K = 2500K 5) Yellowstar color K = 2300K Speedy

unless you wire in relays, stick with stock wattage. Even then, you should probably wire in relays...

I am looking at building my own relay harness kit. I have all the part numbers needed.
Wattage aside, what color would you recommend? The lower K value (2300K) would be a yellow light while the high K value (4000K) would be a blueish light similar to HIDs and the 3150 would be a normal halogen. Speedy

reading of this site will give you good info:
http://www.danielsternlighting.com/ Just my personal taste, but blue lighting is for rice boys...tells me somebody is trying to copy new high end cars by color.
