Which one do I want? I am replacing my old red one which did pretty good. Are there any advantages to the yellow one? My lights dimmed when I idled, which is somewhat due to the under drive pulleys. At $200 a pop, I want to make sure I get the best one.
Thanks
Freddie

The yellow tops are good for if you have a lot of draw on your battery such as stereo equipment and what not. If your having dimming problems b/c of the pulleys then try the yellow top

If it's $200 where you are buying yours from, I would look elsewhere.

I have under drive pulleys and have a red top. It's working fine. Headlights don't dim because i have HID and i changed almost all interior/dash bulbs to L.E.D so they wont blink or dim. In other words. Don't get underdrive pulleys. LMAO

I actually do not know. I have HID and the dimming problem has been solved. I guess it uses less power and ballast takes juice from the battery so...I think may be it uses less voltage?

It looks good and never gave me any problem so far. I got my HID off of a AUDI and it fits like a glove.
