May I ask what kind of bulbs you are planning on installing?

I cant find ANYTHING that puts out a nice white color like a HID, I need something to match my HIDs.

And I aint paying more than $30 Not for a pair of bulbs that blow out next day.

Yep, especially when you consider what a pain-in-the-a$$ they are to replace.

I was using Hella YellowStars and they blew like CRAZY. Finally Bill and Albert convinced me to get the Philips All-Weather Visions. They were right -- the bulbs look great and have not blown all summer and fall (knock-on-wood)

How is the color compared to HIDs? and what do they cost?

Cause like you, I have HIDs and cant stand that the fog lights are straight YELLOW already.

They are a yellowish-amber, closer to amber. I'm sure if you go to www.autooptiks.com they have a color chart.

I think they look good with the HIDs, same look as the lexus (hid/yellow)

Cool

I've been looking for a set of yellow bulbs. I was looking towards the Hella yellowstar and heard about the Philips All-Weather. I thought they were specially for European cars, but I guess not. I'm wondering if you could share how much you paid and where to get them. Thanks
