Silverstars are the brighest and on sale in the Group buy section. None of the listed companies listed sell matching fog light bulbs. And from what I read, any of the comapanies that sell hyperwhite fog light bulbs are shiat quality. 1998 T-Red SVT #957 Born 5/14/1997

And I noticed the Phillips are rated at 85watts. I'm on the road a lot (600 miles) and have 3 kids, and want the most light I can reasonably afford.

I also like the fact that mine were in a previous car for some 20,000 mi and in my current SVTF for nearly 10k. Reliable. Mine are Osram, not Sylvania though. Current driver.
