White bulbs for headlights AND fogs?

Anyone know where I can scoop up the white bulbs for both the headlights and the fogs. Can you even change the bulp in the fogs? I really like that bright white look on the mark8's and beemers & so on. Had a set pf hyperwhites on my cobra & loved 'em, even though they blew out every 6 months... I heard about total replacements that are like over a grand, but are designed to slice through fog, rain & snow. Nothing too serious here as far as weather, so quad. digits is probably just buying something Ill never put to use. Anyone know if thats my only option of if there are Halogen style replacement bulbs for both the heads & fogs? BUT NO RICER BLUE CRAP! LOL Thanx crew

Thumbs up Sylvania

Sylvania Silver Stars! Kick butt! 9007's for the heads and 9005's for the fog's. See my Mods Gallery for comparison pics, VS. stock bulbs. But if you really wanna specd some ching and want some Bling! Look up a set of HID's-Saaaaaweeeet! I would call the Silver Stars the "poor man's HID". They are about 25 bones a piece, Autozone carries them.

Just order them from Roger Lemere at the F-150 Online Store. I used them for 1.5 years and never got the infamous cracked foglight syndrome. They are the same wattage but are ultrawhite bulbs. You will like them. Just call them up and tell them what bulbs you want they will ship you the proper stuff pronto.

Oh and by the way.....it is panty raiding not pany raiding

I have hyper's in the headlights and foglights, the only thing I will warn you about with the hypers is the foglights. The hypers will turn the foglight bulb covers a shade of brownish black due to the fact that its not designed for a "real bulb." The 9005's are just to hot for the housing and turn the cover that nasty color, you can't really notice it at a glance and you can't notice it at all when they're on but you can notice it if you look directly at the fog lights. Otherwise I love the bluish look to the hyper whites.

**EDIT**
When I say "cover" I mean the little silver that covers over the bulb

Dont have the "browning" problem, and my fog lenses are plastic, no melting either. I love 'em and highly recommend them.

HIDs

HID's all the way around.

www.sylvania.com for the headlights
www.hidkits.com for the fogs.



Here's the gallery of the install:

Since I have so much bad luck with bulbs, maybe I should throw the Sylvania's in. No problems with melting things, right??

Thanx guys!

Soap..LOL good catch...must have mis-spelled in my haste creating a new profile..
Toast...frgetit was my old lic. plate. Gone now, so time to 86 it....and an ex was hunting me down on N L O C under my username..worthless hoochmonster.....plus I get bored with things REALLY easy...(maybe that is at the root of some of the girl issues..lol..) ..so I decided it needed a change...TINMAN has been my nickname since...like forever..

Ill shoot over to autozone or Meijers tomorrow & see if they got 'em. How much of a bit*h are the heads & fogs to remove & replace....?

hslight...the problem with those is you lose your hi-beams. Withe the Sylvania HID kit you get to keep the Hi-beams and it replaces the entire headlight housing.


I didn't think they made Sylvania SilverStars for the fogs. This is good news!
