So I've removed all the orange from the front of the car (the headlight corners and the fog light turn signal lenses) but now I really want to change some bulbs. I want to switch out the (halogen?) fog and side marker bulbs with something more white, less yellow, that will match the clean, bright white light put out by the HIDs. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks

How do the fogs look now? I was going to do it today but I kinda want to get the replacement bulbs first, and I'm waiting for a bulb compatibility answer.

they look really great with the clear corners, I'm very happy. Now everything up front is clear. The only problem is that i dropped one of the bulbs, and had to replace both with the only ones the local auto barn had- and they're orange. The orange bulb coating reflects around inside the housing, even when the bulbs aren't lit, and so they look almost as orange as they used to. I really want to get two of those silverstar bulbs that you were talking about. They're perfect... blueish/ prismy when not lit, while retaining the amber flasher... thats exactly what I'm looking for

Yeah, if I can't find them or a compatible size, I'll probably just get a pair of silver coated amber bulbs.

Hey how'd you get the orange lens out of the fog lights? I've been trying to break them through the open socket but I underestimated their strength and am having a hard time of it.

EDIT:Nevermind. It was a pain but I got them out! It wasn't clean at all. I scratched the reflecting cones of the signals and accidently punctured a small hole in one, but you can't really see it unless it's right up in your face so it's not too bad.I'll get some pics up as soon as I get my silver bulbs.
