Default Buying Fog light (bulbs)

Ok first ones are 15$ for the pair...Second is 20$ for one.
Any BIG difference between the two? In other words I want ones that are closest to stock so they don't outshine the headlights.

You can probably go to your local autoparts store (like Autozone) and pick up those Sylvannia's cheaper.

The blue coated bulbs may look whiter but will be dimmer since the coating blocks some light. Plus, off-brand ebay bulbs tend to be low quality.

The Silverstar bulbs are failure prone. They are not worth the price.

Just stick with Sylvania XtraVision bulbs. They are technically brighter than the Silverstar line (there used to be ratings on Sylvania's site that you could compare and that is what I saw).

4300k hids with a 35w ballast. Oem look with 100 times better light output then Oem bulbs. You'll actually notice when the fogs are on
