Default SS lighting upgrade

Ok i want to buy the silverstars for my 94 corvette.. i read a few posts where its a nice upgrade for our lighting. I was curious is it going to look different than the foglights? i want all 4 lights to match colorwise and dont want one liek serious white and the other yellowish..

is it a noticable difference? or does it look just fine? thanks

The silverstars as brighter hallogens will be significantly brighter than the foglights. So there will be a whiter and yellower effect as you describe. Also those darn pesky fog lights are buggers to keep the inside lenses clean which adds to the yellowing issue. Maybe a brighter if available hallogen bulbs for the foglights will solve this?

There are no upgrades for the '94's fogs.

SilverStar makes both a sealed beam quartz halogen headlamp and an H4-type healamp (separate bulb and reflector). The sealed beam type will not be a blue light, so it will match the fogs.
It's my understanding that the SilverStar bulbs meant for the two-part unit are the blue type and you don't want them anyway. Get a standard H4 (white) bulb. The "blue" types actually have less light output than the "yellow" light of a standard white bulb.
So sayeth:
