Anyone know where I can get hyper yellow headlights?

I don't want to go with white or blue faux hid headlight bulbs as those often perform worse in bad weather (snow, rain, etc.). Does anyone know of a good brand that makes a hyper yellow? I know PIAA does, but i'm not sure if they are available for our headlights...what size bulbs do we use for our headlights anyway?

They're H4 bulbs. I'm running some yellow bulbs from Luminics. Picked them up on Ebay for around $30. No complaints. Dunno about the merits of light color's affect on vision during bad weather, but it's definitely a different look than the ultra-super-mega-plasma-platinum white variants.

awesome, thanks!!

Yea, the theory goes that yellow light will reflect back less light from road spray/slush/snow/rain in bad weather conditions, this article goes in depth a little more:
