Lighting Question
I've been kicking around the idea of swapping the high beam and foglight bulbs ever since I bought the car. Compared to the HID's they just seem yellow and ugly. I checked the owners manual and it lists the headlight bulbs as H9 but I can' find a listing for the foglights. Can anyone help me out before I put the car up on ramps to find out. Also, has anyone already done this swap and could give me some ideas of which bulbs will give me a "whiter" light? I was hoping they made Silverstars for this application, but no luck on that.

So does that apply to the current low beam lights on the Corvette?
