the only reason i dont want to replace my 8k hids with 3k hids is the amber eyebrow. i dont like the way the amber signals and eyebrow look next to yellow. what do you fellas think about the eyebrow upgrade that some have done on this forums but instead of white, using 3k yellow so it would match the 3k fog lamps i want. just a thought, let me hear some feedback.

Hey there,

I believe there is no distinction with these bulbs for yellow and amber. I tried searching for you and all I came up with is Yellow, but they look just like Amber.

You can try purchasing yellow if you can find some and I can help install it for you, but I think the result will be the same as OEM. I do have a LED tester for those LEDS (I just plug in the LED to this device) and I can see the color of the LED.

I dont see any Yellow 3000k LED's available. They say yellow, but looks just like the OEM Amber. =(. I checked radio shack for you too. No luck.

Keep the 8k HIDs and change the eye brow to white.

I know. But being different is always the best. Besides, white eyebrow is different than a lot of people, IMO
