I've not heard anyone getting pulled with them.
The law on colour is you can use white OR yellow on the front, not a mixture of the two...

Someone on another forum didn't recommend yellow headlamps as they cut down the headlamp beam apparently. Don't know if it's true?
Plus the French no longer use them either.

Yellow lights = less light for the same wattage of bulb.
On some types of road, the yellow lights give very poor definition. The 'Frogs' went over to white as soon as they were allowed to. Still, yellow lights in France were introduced for French cars by the Nazis occupiers in 1940 so that they could tell if a Frenchman was breaking the curfew (now, you all needed to know that, didn't you!!).
