I would like to change the bulbs in the headlights, side lights, and fog lights so that the general color and brightness is the same for all three lights. I don't like how each of these lights is a different shade of yellow and has a different luminescence from the factory. I'd like all three to be a genuine white color (not too much blue). Has anyone had any luck matching these lights? Which lights did you use?

I realize that the headlight is supposed to be brighter than the other lights, but when you look at the headlight indirectly, it is only slightly brighter than the stock side lights. This is why I'm thinking you might be able to match them with a little work. Thanks for any info...

Matching all three will be hard... plus the 'quality' of the light to the road may suffer a little for the looks...

I have matched my HL and Fogs...(check my signature below)... one warning... you'll need an upgraded HL harness if you use 80/100W... Fogs are safe...

RE: Matching Lights.

Chunger is right. If you try to match all the colors, effectiveness will be sarcaficed for looks. I reall don't think its worth it. You might try getting all of your bulb form the brand and series (close color match). But I wouldn't count on a perfect match. Juest trying to help.

Here's what I'm going to do...

Headlights: Phillips Bluevision 9004
Fog Lights: Phillips Bluevision H3
Clearance Lights: Eurolit Crystal White Xenon 1157 w/ 27W Rewire.

I'm hoping it'll match.

You can see some pics of the Phillips Bluevision Heads and Fogs on redmaxpa007's site. I'm not sure what clearance lights he has though.

His site is: http://jeffreyyfrey.homestead.com/starter.html.

Good Luck!
