they are pretty yellow, I have new ones coming in the mail.I too don't care for the bluish-white light of most LED offerings. I'm glad to see those 4300K ones (hoping such color temperatures will finally start making their way over to the better-quality brands of lights).
Are your factory lenses yellowed? Cleaning them up can make a huge difference, if so...
Another option is to rewire the headlight circuits with relays so that you'll have a shorter (lower-resistance) path from the battery to the bulbs (the OEM wiring has the current going through the multifunction switch on the steering column, then out to the bulbs, which creates a fair amount of resistance in the wiring). This will also allow you to run higher-wattage bulbs with less risk to the factory wiring.
Best option though is to add a pair of auxiliary driving lights, this will put far more light further down the road than anything you can do with your headlights. Using a relay, you can have them come on with your high-beams too, if desired.
Stay away from HID if you have 2-way radio equipment or if you value good FM radio reception (HID usually puts out a lot of radio static).
i don’t have a 2 way and never use fmradio so none of that is really a concern.
