Yup. My understanding is that yellow lights are not even legal in France anymore except as fog lights. Yellow, IIRC, is the best colour for penetrating fog. I personally think that it might be useful to have yellow aux running lights on my bike - it would make it stand out amongst a sea of white lights. Conspicuity is everything when you are on two wheels.Noddy said:Yeller lights for the EU?
I'm in Paris today looking out of my hotel window and can't see a single yellow light anywhere. (There is a red one though, might go investigate.....

BUMP.............
Still trying to calm these Hella50`s down
I was thinking they would be ok to use as driving lights. Unfortunately they are too bright and I keep getting flashed
Any ideas folks? What lamps units does everyone else use for always on? Can I get lower wattage bulbs somewhere? They have 55W bulbs at the mo.

It's not about wattage. It's about the beam pattern.
If Hella50s are driving lamps then they're meant to augment high beam.
To assist dip you need fog or spot lamps, properly adjusted.

I use the Hella FF50's as driving lights and I have never been flashed
I would check your alignment of the beam as it sounds as though it might be a bit high.

In that case maybe I`ve got Hella something other or other elses. They have clear lenses? V bright. I have now angled them down and the beam spot is shining on the ground about 3meters infront of the bike? I`ll see how it goes today thenI use the Hella FF50's as driving lights and I have never been flashed
My mistake.... I have Micro DE's by hella as driving lights and FF50's to supplement high beam.
Sooooo... your lights are only really suitable to come on with high beam.
This is my setup. Upside down by all accounts but they work for me. Most people put the FF50's on top and visa versa.

So a better choice would have been Micro DE's as I`m not fussed about the high beam, just dip beam driving light. Oh well, I`ll have to keep me eyes on the FS section then. Thanks for the pic Jon. Your lights are upside down and there`s someone in Corolla about to back into you. I can`t see your lawn or fence but I expect they need mowing/weeding/painting

You can get yellow bulbs, the ones marked as ALL WEATHER are a yellow colour, I have one on my trail bike just so its a different colour to all other lights.
