I would like to replace my Highbeam bulb to that nice yellow. Been searching internet, eBay, etc but confused which one to get. They range fron 2500k to some I saw 6000k. Does anybody have any idea which one is the right one to buy what the difference is between 2500k to 6000k. Ive searched here and some had stated 3000k. Just confused thanks

The High beam flasher bulb is an H7 bulb. and you want yellow, so you should get 3000k as the temp.

3000K is correct

If I wanted to change my fog lights, high, and low beams to a crystal white halogen would temperature would they need to be? Does anyone know which bulbs look closest to Xenon lights.

Thanks!

Thanks, even if the bulb is colored yellow? To confirm, 3000k the bulb should have a yellow tint of some sort on them?
