best Headlight and fog lights

[nhra427]

Im thinking of putting in some sylvania silverstar headlight bulbs and want to know if anyone has seen a fog light bulb that would match them or if there is a better bulb to use then silverstars?

I just swapped the stock lights for the silverstars, and I really couldn't tell much of a difference (other than the white light)....

Go PIAA All The way

I would usually agree with PIAA but I could not find a PIAA fog light bulb so I had to go Silverstar....

I think it called for a 899 but a 893 works too, that's what I have...

There are 893 Silverstars, 893 APC bulbs, as well as 893 PIAA bulbs. All are pretty good bulbs and the PIAA's would be the most reliable at a price. The APC bulb is a good balance between the three in money and performance and can be picked up at many Autoparts stores or Compact Car shops. I know that the local NAPA auto parts store here carries them but I am not sure if they are nationwide.

The absolutely MOST important thing to do is to clean the bulbs with alcohol or the little pad in the bulb package if it has one. If you so much as touch the bulb and get oil from your skin on the glass, you can guarantee that you severly shortened the life of the bulb. If you wanna really do it the smart way then put on a pair of cheap rubber gloves or just clean gloves and also clean the bulbs real well.

I went with the silverstar headlights and foglights and I could tell it was a little better. Honestly, I think that's the best I can get without doing the HID conversion.

Silverstar has a foglight...893 is the number.

Be warned, Sylvania only rates the 893 bulb at 100 hours. If you drive 2 hours a night in the dark (easy to do this time of year), the bulbs only last you 7 weeks.

I went through 5 bulbs before i called it quits. I had to contact sylvania and they informed me the bulb only has a 100 hour livespan. I got them to refund me for the five bulbs.

I now have no fog lights but Silverstar headlights. I just bought some Xenon bulbs on Ebay for $25 for two head and two fog lights. I'll give them a try and see if i like the color.
