What is the YELLOWEST H1 foglight bulb?
The 2006+ coupe projector headlights use an H1 bulb for the foglight. So what brand makes the deepest yellow bulb? I'm not concerned with which one is brighter, or the cost.
I've tried the yellow bulbs from PIAA & Lux, and neither are that yellow. The MTEC ones draw 100w so I'd be worried about shorting, plus it's an ion color like the PIAA. The Nokya bulbs look very promising. IPF & Polarg also make bulbs that sound good, but I haven't heard any feedback on them and they're more than double the price of the Luminics & Nokya.
I've had my last pair of Luminics bulbs for almost 2yrs, and they were great, until 1 burned out last week. So now I need to buy a new pair. I haven't tried the Nokya ones yet.
I've searched, but couldn't find a definitive answer. Which bulb is more yellow between the Nokya and the Luminics?

I've tried PIAA and Luminics. The Luminics > PIAA by far. I can only speak for those two.
Redlude97 retrofitted H4 yellow capsules to fit H1 bulbs. It's a very deep yellow.

If you've tried more than one type of yellow foglight bulbs, or seen more than one brand of yellow foglight bulb on a G35 in person, please share your opinions!
Nokya are definitely a deeper yellow, which I was looking for. Im not sure about the light output, I'm sure its negligible. I found the nokya to be the best overall.... especially the color. The luminics looked too stock for my taste.

I found some half and half (H-4) for mine. They are light yellow. In fact when you look at them oncoming, they look real similar to the HID's, but put out yellow on the road. The high beams are white.

The Nokya ones look fantastic. I think they might actually be a tad bit "yellower" than the Luminics when you look at the headlights. It's a close call, but I think the Nokya bulbs are just a tiny bit more "golden" like just a slightly deeper color.
I think the Luminics bulbs might have been slightly brighter, as far as the light it puts out on the road. However, I can't say that with any certainty b/c redlude97 re-aimed my lowbeams so the way the light mixes is different.
The Luminics bulbs were great and lasted me over 1.5yrs, being on everytime the low beams were on. We'll have to see how long the Nokya bulbs last, though.
