What Bulbs?

I have three different colors up front when my lights are on and would like to get them the same colors or brightness.
You have my headlights that are a blueish color.
You have my fog lights that are just a plain white color.
Then you have the light in between the headlights that are yellow.

Can you guys tell me what bulbs to get to make them all the same or at least the headlight and the driving lights since I don't know if they others are even on when your driving.

Thanks

I did exactly what you're looking to do... For the lights in between the headlights (the yellow turn-signals) you need what are called "stealth bulbs" or "chrome bulbs"... I got mine from stealthauto.com (lifetime warranty - already had one replaced for free) but you might be able to find them for cheaper elsewhere. They still blink yellow, and they have to in order to be legal, but the ugly yellow fades away when your turn signal is off.

For the daytime running (fog) lights, you'll need two separate things, both of which I found cheapest at gen5diy.com. You need a daytime running light/fog light harness (which allows these lights to be on when your halos and/or headlights are on)... http://www.gen5diy.com/PnP_harnesses...ts/drl-harness

And also the actual bulbs which match the halos (the bluish color you were talking about)... http://www.gen5diy.com/Lighting/Ligh...W-6-watt-5000k
They sell 4300k, 5000k, and 6000k, but in my opinion (and what I bought) the 5000k matches the HID halo's the best.

Once all these parts are installed (15 mins tops), the colors match and all lights will be on at once, like this...

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions.

Feel free to contact us if you need help finding the perfect match: (314) 205-3033

Our HP8 LED's match the factory halos and come backed with a 3-year warranty. SMD models do tend to be a 6000K color (as shown in the center here):



The HP models are shown on the right and left

It's a simple bulb replacement, plug and play.

We don't carry the DRL harnesses at the moment, but there are other vendors here who currently sell them
