you'll be able to pretty closely match h4 headlights and h3 fog lights, but you can't match them to your turn signals.

if you want to use clear turn signal bulbs just buy standard k-mart, auto zone ones. they are cheap, clear and not too bright.

if you buy blue or some stupid hyper-white 12.00 each bulb, you'll attract the attention of the police.

e-mail me at mckeige@netscape.net i have a lighting business.

I believe Bekkers has some turn signal lamps that are silver when they are not lit, but glow the standard orange when they are on. I use SilverStars on my C230 until I am able to buy a HID kit. I think they look whiter, although Im not sure if they are "brighter" as the advertising may suggest. Just make sure that whatever lights you decide to buy are the right wattage. A number of guys that have switched to the blue colored or the higher wattage bulbs have melted the wiring in the headlight which is an expensive fix or a DIY. Hope that helps.

Sylvania SilverStar lights will work the best, they are by far the whitest, brightest lights. They make bulbs for the fog light, headlights, and turnsignals. The cool thing about the turn signal lights is that they flash amber but when off are clear.

Well why you wanna put a hyper white bulb or xenon look bulb?? they can burn your connector since most of them are not made to suit your car needs..but that's just my 2 cents

i just want them to be all the same color. i like what zeronero said about the corner bulbs that only turn amber when signaling. i like that idea. i want it to be safe of course so whichever is the smart choice that meets my all the same color needs. thanks man
