ON Yellow 7x6 Head Lamps can be bought locally?

There are some Ebay 7 x6 H4 yellow halogen H4 headlight housing conversions, but being the lazy f*ck that I am, I wanted to see if these can be purchased locally?

I didn't know he was asking about the legality. I think he wants to know where he can buy them.


I've seen them at princess auto.

Here's the low down on headlight bulbs: (as per the Highway Traffic Act)

20(1) Every motor vehicle, other than a motor cycle or moped, shall be equipped with at least 2 headlamps and shall have at least one headlamp mounted on each side of the front of the motor vehicle.
(2) A headlamp on a motor vehicle, other than a snowplow, shall be mounted on the motor vehicle at a height of not more than 1400 millimetres nor less than 600 millimetres measured from the centre of the headlamp to the level of the ground when the motor vehicle stands unloaded.
(3) The lens and bulb of every headlamp on a motor vehicle shall consist of clear, untinted glass.
(4) No person shall attach to or apply to any headlamp or part of a headlamp any material or substance that causes the beam of light emitted from it to be any colour other than what is commonly accepted as being white.

your signal lights have, white yellow or amber.
head light have to be white, even headlight over 5300k (i think) are considered blue.
yes there are porsches that had yellow lights but they only got away with it b/c they are factory.

"Lamps required on all motor vehicles except motorcycles

62. (1) When on a highway at any time from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a distance of 150 metres or less, every motor vehicle other than a motorcycle shall carry three lighted lamps in a conspicuous position, one on each side of the front of the vehicle which shall display a white or amber light only, and one on the rear of the vehicle which shall display a red light only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (1)."

Looks like we have different lighting requirements in Ontario vs. Alberta.
