    Erik, just replace the bulbs in your fog lights with yellow H1 LED bulbs. Your fog lights will be more effective that way as well.

    I have yellow LED bulbs installed in my Challenge car's fog lights/flashers which I wired for use as running lights while on the track...

    Well Barry, I never use those fog lights... I am more cusious in the look of the car when they are off... :)

    Erik, if that's the case you can have the best of both worlds. Get yourself these LAMIN-X yellow protective film fog light covers pre-cut for your 550: Ferrari 550 (96-02) Fog Light Covers

    Your fog lights will look yellow on or off, the lenses will be protected, and your fog lights will be more effective. :)

    Don't knock Civics. :)

    Felix Medina, who tuned my F355 Challenge, did this with his Civic...





    8.83 seconds...172 mph...On the small tires.

    Bring that!

    Cool :) actually like the old Honda cars. Had a 1992 Legend Coupe. Dark green mica with beige leather. Pretty awesom to be a Japanese car but probably the most boring car I have driven!

    Yellow lights was French thing back in the day. 550 was probably one of the last Ferrari's to have them available from factory.

    In Italy you could order car with yellow ligjts from new even if white was the standard. This is an Italian delivered Fiat 130 with yellow glass. It looks amazing.

    Pretty car. Seller is asking a very hopeful price.

    I remember driving from the UK to France when all the French cars had yellow headlights. They really did work in reducing glare to oncoming drivers. That was before the LED era. I guess a French driver from then teleported to a night time road now would suffer instant blindness.
