Henry,

Not only is that a great source for identifying bulb application, if you go into their Performance Shop you can purchase right on line. Delivery is fast and the prices are excellent.

I noticed you are very favorably disposed toward PIAA. Do you think their bulbs are worth the much higher price compared to the Sylvania Silver Star? I have those in my SC and find them to be quite nice. The PIAA's from Tire Rack cost almost twice as much. They would have to be a LOT better in my opinion to justify that kind of differential in price.

ahhaha first of all let me say i am no where affliated with piaa or any other bulb making companies, that's a good thing

personally i don't like sylvania. yes they are very cheap, but i have heard a lot of bad stories about them blowing out very quickly. i know a lot of people would say their bulbs are still good after x amount of time, but i am also sure those who told me bad stories, they didn't mishandle their bulbs in any way too. i can only account that to various quality control.

instead of piaa, i would say give razo a try. they are japanese stuff, good stuff, but not as expensive as piaa. my friends (2 of them) have the razo and they love it

djentee - it's a 9006 bulb type. if you get a kit, see if you can get the seller can get you some ballast extension wires since you may need them to reach the fog light areas.
