i think it may be a good bet that people with silverstars get silverstar bulbs for their foglights?

Rewired foglight wires to control the hid headlights. One solution to the hid that doesn't turn off. :wink:

I am running silverstars in my mains and OEM halogens in my fogs. I just like the color scheme the two different bulbs give. The oem fogs are plenty bright for me. I wish my mains werent H4's, I hate these dual filament bulbs.

Yellows technically better for actual fog and low visibility conditions. White and yellow are legal for fogs. The yellower the light, the better it cuts through fog.

But if you wanna match the HIDs in color, Silverstars for the fogs is probably the easiest way to go. It would suck more than your stocks in actually cutting through fog though. Depends whats more important to you, look or functionality.
