My Xenon Lights

Well I installed my "xenon" fog light bulbs today and they don't really look like the headlights xenon. They look very halogenish. So since I can't find some bulbs for the corners nor the fogs, I was thinking of getting the old amber bulbs in the corners and then switching back to halogen lows and highs. To me it looks very weird having the headlights be xenon and the rest halogen. As far as the corners are concerned, I'm definitely switching back to amber. In this pic it's the clear bulbs now, it looks nasty yellowish!




So what do you guys think? Should I put it all back to stock? Or do the headlights look fine as xenon? If I do switch back I might sell them, I think Tony was interested at one point...

no those pics are old, the fogs are still halogen in the pics, but theres no real difference with the "xenon" bulbs. so the fog bulbs are out. as for the headlights, i love the xenons cuz they light up so well, i just want it all to match. as for the clear corners, i'm going to try and install the DRLs tomorrow so if theyre brighter and whiter then i'll leave em white, otherwise i'm gettin amber ones. anyone seen those titanium or the chrome bulbs for clear lenses?

Which ones did you try? If you buy like a pack of 8 from the OZ site for each side you will not be disappointed.

oh i actually ordered some bulbs on ebay that had a bunch of LEDs on em. problem with this is that its a dual filament bulb, so theres some bright and some not so bright. if i wanted to custom light it i guess i could have say 10 wired to the low element wire and then 10 more wired to the high element wire...then have a separate set of 10 wired to a switch...BAM! theres my DRLs!

That looks like mine right now......clear / blue headlights w/ yellowish foglights. Of course, my fogs are still the stock bulbs. I wouldn't get rid of the nice lookin headlights just because they don't match the fogs though....

Are the headlight & fog bulbs the same? Or did you just get regular foglight bulbs?
