i know piaa makes some foglights that are hyperwhite and about as bright as a high beam, but their like $180 not bad but do you really care that much. by the way blue lights look rice but if you get hid at 6000 k temp or even 8000 it wont look blue yet it kind of switches from blue to burple to white depending on the angle you look at it. but i still think anything is beller than that stock yellowish look. i have eurolights and i think the give off the brightest whitest light for $40 a pair. check if they make an 894 bulb.

i think that silverstar only goes up to 893 which will also work it just wont have that little L shape. i have eurodezins like i have told other people that they are real good and cheap on ebay.they look blue but shine bright white and are the same wattage as stcok so they wont burn harness

I have 'em too. They match my Silverstars pretty damn well. They're cheap too.

I have the 893 Silverstars and have no issues putting them in. I did do it from under the car though, just so I could see what the hell I was doing. On the driver side the cable was kinda short, but that might have been because I have my halos connected to the fogs, and that might have shortened the useable lenght of that cable.

They are brighter, but not extremely so.

This is Silverstar headlights, stock foglights:


This is Silverstar all the way, including the signal lights:

The generic "euro" junk on Ebay is just that....junk (headlights or foglights).
I went through 2 sets in 6 months.
They're cheap for a reason...they don't last.

It's worth the extra money for the Silverstars.
And I'm running 893 fog lights without a problem.

i always have a problem with my right fog light, it always burns out, and when i go to replace it, the glass is missing! does anyone else have that problem? it sux cause i've replaced the left one once, and it that same amount of time i've replaced the right one like 3 times, and if i do the silverstars it's gonna get pretty pricey changing that light out that much. i think ima try these lights sold at pepboys called Nokya. they're hyper whites and they also ome in hyper yellow (so Artic might wanna try those) they're like 29 bucks for 2, so i'll save 10 bucks. i just dont wanna look stock like everyone else.

How much time did you spend adjusting your lights? Those look really good.
