My low beam didn't work when I took off for work this morning. So I ran my bright and went in. I didn't feel like I could cancel, so I made the best ride available. Between errands this afternoon I dropped into a honda shop to pick up a new headlight.
The Honda OEM was 11 bucks.
Aftermarket was 35.


OEM is a yellow light with better depth perception. Aftermarket blue light has a larger field of vision but less depth perception. Atleast that is how the sales guy explained it.

I've not ran anything but stock headlamps in years, so I've never had options before.

I picked yellow because it was what I know. I didn't figure that this week was going well enough for me to try anything new, so I put trying new things off until later.

What do you run blue or yellow? Opinions?

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.
