Sylvania Silverstars in LT1 Camaro- Low Beam & Fogs

I'd like to do this to my Camaro, but for me, the fogs and low beams MUST match or in my opinion it looks ghetto. Can this be done? If so how? If you'd like to see the difference between the Siverstars and regular bulbs, check this out it's a good guide.

They dont make silverstar bulbs for fogs, I wanted to do the same thing you do. I just went with some 70 watt bulbs that lit just about as white as my head lights but now those keep burning out every day so I'm gonna go look for a different brand.
But I might just end up buying 1LE fog light deletes
or find some 55 watt H3's that look white as my headlights...

Even if they did make an 883 bulb, the color probably wouldnt match, because the bulbs burn at different wattages. They only way you could get them to look the same is if the bulbs were the same watt wise.

For a set of Hyperwhite H3's, check out the fog's in my sig...
For a set of Hyperwhite bulbs that will fit into the stock housings, search for 885, 880, 890, 892, 893, or 884 bulbs and you will find some. All of these will fit into the 885 socket which is the stock replacement, they are just different wattages.

TriPinTaZ - Silverstars are not offered in 885's or any of their cross references by Sylvania or Osram. They are not offered in a sealed beam housing either (H4351/2). Sylvania does make the stock housing though, but not a silverstar sealed beam, for the 4351/2 yet.

There is going to be a color difference regardless of wattage, etc. The only way to get a true matching set is to get the same brand, same wattage. But if you get the same brand, you will not be able to tell a difference most likely (within reason.)

Wouldn't go that far, . Looks like us CAMARO guys will have to continue to use the reseal a new bulb in the stock housing method or go all out and fork out the $$$. Just we just weren't destine to have HID.
