no one knows which one it is?

Not sure if they are the same...but on my 90 celica gt-s, it is 1157 bulb type...I assume 90-93 celica has same bub type....
and aren't both of them H3??? means they are exactly the same...?
Why you choose yellow color? for look (coz that is the only reason I can think of)?

In case you haven't known it, just be ready to replace cheap aftermarket bulb every 3 months or less (its average life).....

the base looks kinda different... tht's y i asked...

as for cheap bulbs, these two are one of the better ones out there... won't last me for years, but at least a yr or so... i like yellow fogs, so shoot me :p looks nice imo, abd helps a lot driving in the rain

Oh.. I didnt realize if they aren't the same...
Not sure if they would actually last a year though.. I purchased one for my avalon like 2 years ago (not 3000k but 8000k color) and I replaced 2 of them within 3 months before switching to PIAA...I forgot what brands I purchased but it's also the better one (under $40+ shipping) out there...many people who bought ebay's aftermarket light have to replace their within < 6 months and most < 3 months hence I come into my conclusion to replace them every 3 months or less....
I'm not also sure how yellow gonna help in rain (I forgot where I read it but it's just a myth that yellow helps for driving in fog/rain hence old american cars no longer use yellow fog light)....
But hey, if you love yellow, just go for it
