Upgrades

I was thinking about upgrading my lights to either blues or whites, but was wondering if they still look good with the stock fog lights, or should I change those out too?

Also, how hard is it to remove the badges off the back of the car?

After I did the headlights, I had superwhites on top, but the fogs were still yellowish - didn't look good. Best bet is to change both (the fogs are a pain in the **** - I had a shop do it) Headlights are 9007 and fogs are H3.

There are threads about removing badges already posted. Its easy.

I, personally, kept the yellows for when it IS foggy - the 'white' bulbs aren't nearly as effective in rain/fog, and the combination of two sets of whites are pretty useless compared to the yellow fogs. Just a thought.

I changed both sets purely for aesthetic reasons - not performance. I didn't like they way the 2 different color bulbs looked. On the plus side, when I drive at night upstate in the dark (no streetlights - wilderness) the superwhites (top and bottom) light up the night and make watching out for deer a little easier.

Thanks for the advice. That looks pretty good BLKRalliArt04. I should have looked at your thread before posting this one.

Pulled my badges off this weekend. Used the hair dryer, and goo gone trick. Worked like a charm. It looks a lot cleaner now. Thanks for the help.
