Direct replacement white bulbs

I was wondering if there's any company that makes direct replacement bulbs for 93-97 style Camaros. I'm looking for white bulbs for my headlights and foglights but I don't want to change the stock housing cause well I like the stock look just not the yellow light. I don't want a ricer style purple or blue tint. Just clean white

Any help would be appreciated

Sylvania SilverStars...they are awesome

bout $50 a pair, 9005 and 9006 is what you want, dont' recall which one was the hi and which the low but those are the ones

i think Jegs still sells them

you jsut pry out the bulb part of your old sealed beam, and epoxy in the new bulb...boom you're done

What about for the fog lights? I don't see the point of having white bulbs in the headlights w/o having them in the fogs too.

For the fog's try a search on MSN or Google for "White 885 Bulbs" or "Hyperwhite 885 Bulbs" and choose your liking. There aren't a whole lot out there for the stock fog's - but they are around. Autooptiks.com also sells some.

Thanks! I think I found some made my Nokya. It shows ricers in the pics but the white seems to be clear white. Any thoughts on those?

Those are good bulbs Nokya is one of the best. Just get the 893 - it is a direct cross reference that has the same style connection (straight on rather than 90*).

With those and the Silverstars you will be set.

If you look down at the part #s it says they have the 885s... that's what I need right?

It says "Manufactory part no:" - meaning they only have the cross reference's for those bulbs - or "the 893 will fit these manufacturer part no's." Also note - "Product Name: Nokya Arctic White 893 37.5W Twin Pack Light Bulbs
Description: Twin Bulb Pack 893 Arctic White Auto Foglight Light"

Those will fit fine - but it is not actually an 885.

In their picture it also shows an 894 - and a lot of websites will pass that off as a cross reference as well, even though it has a 90* base on it.

You need some white 194 bulbs (that's the little ones) and some white 1157 bulbs - 1157 is a cross reference to 2397 which is the stock bulb size - they aren't available in white. Do a search on that site that Indy is buying his from, or search MSN and Google for those same terms I listed above - just different sizes.
