Headlights and fogs
Im looking at new headlight bulbs and need some insight. I'm thinking of either arctic white headlights and cosmic white fogs. Or cosmic white headlights and hyper yellow fogs. I just don't like the spaceship like look of four same colored lights in a row. Any ideas? Pics would be a tremendous help.
Thanks,

I lived in PA and NJ for many years and I'll be the 1st to tell you that going with a "whiter" fog may look cool but when you're in really soupy conditions at night you'll be doing the white knuckle grip on the steering wheel. The higher the temperature of the bulb, the whiter but less USABLE light to the naked eye there is.
I run Sylvania Silver Stars in the headlights (4000K) and Hella Optilux Extreme Yellow (2500K) in the fogs. I can see edges and lines at times while others with 4000K and higher can't see a thing. All 3 of my vehicles have 2500K fogs.

The bulb #'s are in the Owners Manual. If you don't have one, I can send you the pdf. Just PM me with your email.
For the GT fogs, the OM says 9145. I'm not sure if H10 is an exact match.

From what I see here 9145 is the same as an H10.
