Default Matching headlights and foglights

I am thinking about getting Sylvania Silverstar bulbs, but what brand foglight bulbs will match the color, or will pretty much any of them work?

I have tried all kinds of bulbs on mine with not much success. The problem to me seems to be the fog lamps housing is a frosted type of class, not clear so it cuts down on the projection and color. I have Eurobulbs in there now and they match alright, but I plan on getting some HIDs from TByrne soon and change out the fog lights for some aftermarket ones alltogether. Good luck.

I put silverstars in my headlights and foglights, and like 02BlackZ said, they lense I guess you would say is different. The fogs don't really look that much different than the stock bulbs in there.

I went with the blue PlasmaGlow bulbs. They have matching hi's/lows/ and fogs. They are expensive, but they do have a lifetime warranty. The lows are very bright, people flash me all the time. I did take out the hi beam bulbs, because they were too blue, and not to bright.

Use the 894's for fogs. I have not seen the platinum bulbs, from the website I would guess they glow purple to look like the brightest HID lights.

I got mine on ebay. I think I paid $80.00 for all three sets. Plasmaglow sells them on their site for $39.99 a pair. A lot of sites carry them now, so they may be had for cheaper.
