Head & fog light bulbs

**GTO Pete** · 12-29-2005, 02:53 PM

After reading the Silverstar thread, I thought I would chime in. IMHO and testimonials on several other lighting and automotive forums, Silverstars are decent, but overrated.

I`ve tried several brands and for straight replacement bulbs, HOEN topped them all. IMO HOEN bulbs are the next best thing to HIDs.

Thought I would throw this out there as an option for Autopians. :usa

Are they really worth the price if you want to buy a full set for the front of your car? About $100 for me.

I would probably get them to match OE HID`s to the fogs.

Silverstars are far easier to come by. Philips also has new bulbs out called "Blue Vision"; They are whiter than Silverstars with a similar lumens output.

Thank you for the link, BTW.

That`s really up to the buyer. For some it`s not worth it, for others it is.

For me, I can`t stand the way cars look with different colored head and fog/driving lights. The only exception for me is when you have yellow foglights (ex: Lexus IS300).

The advantage of HOEN is that they offer all bulbs that match in color.

I hope someone on Autopia tries these bulbs. :think::
