Default "Plasmaglow" plasma xenon yellow bulbs

Has anyone ever tried these? I'm wondering how yellow they are. I've tried a few different "yellow" H3 bulbs, but none have been very yellow. But since these seem to have a yellow coating, maybe they're better? Anyone with any insight?

yes, i'm aware that this picture isn't of an H3 bulb, but they do sell H3 yellow bulbs...

Default tried them

I tried them and currently they are in the box. They do appear yellow to a degree. Certainly not close to the HID equipped GS's with yellow fogs. I changed mine from the stock yellow to white and am still hunting for the perfect fog bulb to compliment my HID'd

Also, 2 of the last Plasmaglow products I have ordered went bad within a month. Warranty you say-sure if you want to ship the item to them and then pay $8.00 for shipping back to you!!!

I would stay away from the Plasmaglow products

DONT GET THEM!

i have those exact ones, and they suck! not yellow at all. i changed one of the fog lights in my 98 LS first so that i could see the difference.....guess what no difference. the stock bulb is regular white(not HID or yellow). i have stock HIDs and want to match the look of the GS but those plasma glow bulbs did not work. anybody got any other ideas for a super yellow 9006 bulb.

Has anyone consider the 'Philips' All Weather 9006 yellow bulb series?

Philips All-weather bulbs are specially developed for safe driving in poor weather conditions ie rain fog and snow. Better visibility in bad weather conditions thanks to the yellow light for better penetration in wet atmosphere. (Illuminates that of French style headlamps)
They available bulb sizes: H1, H3, H4, H7, 9005, 9006, W5W, T4W, H6W, D2R, D2S.

You might want to consider the 'Philips' H3 All weather yellow bulb (Notice that the glass is not yellow coated)

Here's an OSRAM All Season Super H3 (you can see the box for them & the silverstars in the bg):

Puts out solid yellow light. Actually useful in fog/haze. I'll try to take some pictures of the beam pattern, the yellow is evident there. Note: the fog lens/glass (of the housing) doesn't really turn "yellow" like an old LS/ES or an IS/GS, since it's pretty much a clear lens on my ES. I would say it is a functional upgrade, not as much of a stylish one.

can you describe the yellow output? is it a solid and noticable yellow? or is there just a hint of yellow? i want something as close to the GS/IS yellow fog light as possible.
