headlight bulb color??

[joe tom]

hello,
i recently blew a headlight bulb and picked up a set of nokya low beam bulbs as replacements. they produce a yellow light that is better for nighttime/fog visability (keep in mind that these new bulbs are the same wattage as the original equipment). am i at risk of a ticket? i understand that turn signal, reverse, and stop lights must all be oem color/style, but how about the headlight bulbs? with so many new cars featuring HID/LED systems, it is hard to tell what is legal or illegal.
thanks,
joe
