Yes performance will decrease, you are taking a bulb that is normally clear and tinting it, per say, which we all know what that does.

Yeah, not worried about performance, as long as it isn't as bad as plug and play LED bulbs. My projectors light up the road pretty well.

They shouldn't be that bad. I hope. But fogs are meant to hero when its foggy or rain do that is where i would be quieted about performance loss. Even tho fog lights now a days are meant more for looks then functionality.

Let us know how those lights turn out, if they actually get even close to the right Kelvin.

I have seen quite a few mustangs with these bulbs and they are pretty close, good enough anyways.

Yeah, here in Arizona I don't have to worry about fog or even rain that often.

I have had silver stars before and was never impressed. I noticed a bigger difference with these.

I don't care for the performance but they do give off a kinda whiter light.

They look just like my Silverstars. Nice to me and you but I doubt 99.9999% of the population will tell. Looks good either way, nice truck

Not looking for something that stands out. Was really going for the opposite, just wanted them to blend in better with the HID's. The stock bright yellow ones really stood out. These do not.

Ya the stock ones that come in 90% of vehicles are meant for long lasting. They are always bottom of the performance list but last the longest.. At least for halogens that is.
