ok cool thanks. I found out that the lumincs h4 yellow bulbs have both the high and low beams so it's good to go. I'm going to pick up a set. They say yellow really helps vision in bad weather as opposed to white so these will work great

All H4 bulbs, by design, are dual filament. The issue with these yellow bulbs is that not only is your fog yellow, but now your high beam is yellow as well (which isn't totally desirable.) Most people don't use their high beams often, so you are making a trade off.

yeah, only reason why I was conserned about high beams is because in NJ to pass inspection, you need high beams. As long as I have them I'm good. Plus, yellow fogs enables you to see MUCH better in bad weather as oppsed to the 8000k HID's I got in there now

For those of you using Luminic JDM Yellow, how long are those bulbs holding up? I had them before but one bulb has higher contrast than the other, I might have gotten a bad box.

I've had mine for 6 months so far, and there hasn't been any problems. They really make a difference when driving at night.

I replaced my fogs with the luminics yellow bulbs, now my headlights seem to smoke inside an the lense is realllly hot to the touch. This can't be normal, anyone have any ideas? Also, is the luminics bulbs and oem bulb same wattage/voltage?

IMO, luminics look good, but bad quality.

I agree. I'm going to go with PIAA's. People love them, good quality, and exactly what I'm looking for. Little bit more money, but you pay for what you get

Anyone have some suggestions on Yellow Fogs. The luminics smoked for me, but all I keep reading on her is that the luminics is the best yellow H4 bulbs. Any other suggestions besieds the luminics or PIAA's? Pics will also be a veyr big help!

A friend of mine put these in his VW, they look pretty nice, but it burnt out less than 6 months. I expect that last longer than that. But then this guy always be messing around with weird stuffs on that car and he also had these bulb in cheap ebay projector headlight housing.

PIAA Ion Crystal H1
