Do you have a Classic or 2nd-gen Aurora? (It generally helps if you put that info in your sig  ) That makes the fog bulb swapping process quite different. I've asked around about ugraded lighting before too, although I want a bright white upgrade and not anything blue like all the ricers have. Several members here have used Sylvania Silverstars or Cool Blues (I forget who makes those) with success... but Silverstars have a reputation of premature burnout and are quite pricey when bought retail. There are warnings out there against buying eBay headlights, as they often have no warranty and don't last. But I'm still tempted to try HiLights, which can be found on eBay from an auto parts guy. The whole set (lows, highs, and fogs) can be purchased for ~$45, they have a 90-day guarantee, and members here have had good luck with them. |

oh sorry didnt think about that. 96 classic all the way.
about the lights, i dont want the straight blue bulbs but i know you can get the ones that look just like the European luxory cars like the Mercedes. where its a very bright white with a hint of blue. i put some in my Explorer and they looked great. i cant remember the brand but i bought them at Kragen. as i last remember it was about $27 for each bulb.

Nice white light, but expensive and often crap out before their 1-year guarantee is up.  The fog bulbs can be reached by removing a couple of the fasteners along the bottom of your front bumper (the black plastic part). I was able to reach in and find (by feel) and twist out the bulb socket, to then remove the bulb and plug the new one in. There's probably a better description of that around here somewhere, but that's how I did it. Also, here are a couple other threads on lighting upgrades... FYI Lighting UpgradesFog lamp out... Silverstar alternatives?Silverstar anyone? |
