I put my fogs in today....they look real nice......i pulled the gray and moved it to the green, no problem. The right tools and some patience to do the job. I wired the fogs got it all together and they didn't work! I went over everything again, swiched the wires and they still didn't work. I hooked one up directly to the battery and it worked? Come to relize.....my freakin high-beams were on!!! I had it right the first time.....!!!! All good now, nothing is easy

Silverstar bulbs have a nice color in my opinion, yet they look yellow compared to 4300k HID and hyper white LED's. My suggestion is hyper yellow Nokya's. I have the Nokya's and I think they make a nice contrast to my 4300k HID's. and hyper white 194's in my running lamps.
