Where did you get those super white lights? For fog lights and day lights I'm using Sylvania Silver stars, but I want the brightest whitest light I could have.

Skytower31, myself, and one other person from way back opted for these:

True HID Vid!!!







Fixin to convert the high beams to a round setup so it all matches too

Total cost: (Yikes!!!) $600ish to do the lows, highs, and fogs But it is so sweet...

Wow that HID konversion looks sick. Too bad it's a little pricey for me at the moment. If I do gain some extra money, I will go into that as well.

Thanks for this link, his Formula looks bad ***. I'm ordering the fog lights from the same guy he is. But do you know if anyone is selling brighter day lights? Kould be amber but I prefer bright white like the fogs you're showing me.

He sells those too. They are the super white DRL's. I have the super white day time running lights. I took out the amber. It looks better on silver. So I have the same white drl and fog lights. I can take a pic of them tonight and post it if you want.
