Speaking of avoiding burnt headlights, does anyone have recommendations for replacement H7 bulbs that won't cause yellowing?

Yeah, although that just runs the little fog light, and I've never noticed them to yellow?

You've got a US market car... whoever federalized it did the foglight DRL hack. Canadian market cars illuminate(?) low beam bulbs for DRL's.
