good evening, i saw some yellow halogen bulbs at Waggel last week - when i say bulbs, they were yellow tinted caps that fit over the glass part. I was going to ask the guy selling them the price, but unfortunately i was far too drunk to talk.  Does anyone know where i might procure a pair? |

You might find somebody selling 'em at a foreign event, such as Waggel... <runs> Seriously, they used to be available in French supermarkets, but haven't seen 'em there for a few years - they may be "old stock". <thinks> Even then, though, they were always H4 base, so wouldn't fit 2cvs - I've seen normal halogens with the P45t base, but not yellow. I had yellow 100/80w in the CX GTi - the extra power melted the light switch, so I had to add relays, but it wasn't quite enough to make up for the immense loss of light through having a piss-coloured plastic willywelly over the bulb. |

LOL at Monsieur Chapman. Love yellow bulbs.......... until it gets dark and rural, then they're f**k all use to man or beast. I'd have a pair of halogens in yellow though - even though they overheat my switch gear. I'd just swat the white bulbs in for night time use. |

yup, just run yellow for the day time, to give lights that authentic francais look. Switch to candles if no white bulbs available. the increase in available lumens will be staggering! |

I remember seeing them too Neil. Just yellow caps on the white bulbs you can normally use. I find with the yellow bulbs i have in the cars they are fine, plently bright enough really... plus on D*lly i fitted new headlights and that made a big difference! |

I've had a bit more success with google & have found yellow halogens, 55/60w with a P45t base... They're pretty 'spensive at £9.02 each! P45t base though. |
