Fog lights

So i was trying to get away from those dull yellow nasty fog lights, but i dont know which bulb i need. Can i just get away with using the Sylvania Silverstars.?
i have an 04 coupe by the way.

Are these as hard to replace? I would like to do the fogs and probably the clearance/parking lights with LEDs

the actual job of installing the bulb is fairly simple, theres a mteal clip that holds it in place, the problem with the install is space. You cant get to the fog from under the hood.

I lifted my car on jacks, turned my wheels out and got to the HL housing from behind the wheel well covers.


XLR8- H4 is the size for the 03-04 fogs. I just ordered a set of Nokya Yellow fog myself so the bulb size is fresh in my mind.

As far as Sylvania silverstars matching your Xenon HLs- You may want to compare the light output to see if they'd match up as I've never owned those exact bulbs from them for my G. (I LOVE my Yellow fogs for the contrast and clarity it provides for night driving.

Found this for you:

The yellow fogs light up the road very well so when I drive at night, I can still see all the potholes. Plus, I like the aesthetics of the yellow.
