Default Headlight bulb causing problems!

About 2-3 years ago I replaced my driving lamps with the PIAA 1100's. Around the same time, it was very popular on the forum to also replace the headlight bulbs with a set that better matched the color of these PIAA driving lamps. Accordingly, I did so and the set of bulbs I put in matched perfectly. Here's the problem - I don't know what brand they were and now I have to replace one of those! What I do know, is they were NOT PIAA's. I made the mistake of buying PIAA's and they are definitely "yellower". I wanna guess Sylvania Silverstars (?) but I don't recall for certain. Anybody know?

If they are Silverstars, Advanced Auto has them for $24.95 for a set of two after $5.00 mail in rebate, or, buy one single bulb and get second half off (and a rebate I think). I just got a twin pack for the low beams and put in 885's in the fog lights - big difference.

Good luck in finding what you are looking for.
