Need bulb help.

I am looking to replace my bulbs in my euro angels eyes. The ones I have work fine but I want a different look. I'm looking for the bulbs that are more white. Also I've seen the angel eye rings that look less yellow and more white. Same goes for the fog lights.

What bulbs are these?

I am thinking that these are the HID's.

Re: Need bulb help.

I use silverstar bulbs in my foglights as they look a lot whiter than regular halogens and give off more light. They are size 9006.

You can put a blue lens on the angel eye bulb to give them a "whiter" tint, but thaty will get rid of the contrast they have with the HID bulbs.

The high beam bulbs are size H7. Yo ucan do a real HID converison, buy silverstars or some of those blue lights, like ricers have, that look white like HIDs.


Is this the info you were inquiring about?
