The stock foglight bulbs are type 880.

will a H3 bulb fit? I seen somewhere that they had H3 bulbs in the fogs on a grand am?

thanks

H3 bulbs fit the aftermarket housings that we commonly put on the cars (Blazertechs, Hella optilux, etc...)

Don't waste your time with 880, 885, 893, etc replacement bulbs. Buy the Blazer 3200's or the Angel Eyes and you'll be set. Trust me. :thumbs:

yup

I recently modified the stock brackets to fit Hella Angel Eyes and possibly Blazer lights. It allows bulb replacement and uses the stock adjustment.

Just got the Angel Eye Foglights off of PFYC.com Anyways, I am planning on going and picking up some H3 bulbs. i'm guessin this will put out a TON more light at night, vs. the STOCK fog lights... Anyways, in order to use the H3's, do I have to do any modification to the car itself, or the Angel Eyes wiring harnass? I really want the H3's, but I don't want to use them at the expense of frying my wire harnass like some people do when they try and run 80/100 watt bulbs on the stock headlights..

Jeff,

The H-3 spec bulbs come in different wattages and can be interchanged if you want to but the stock wattage in any H-3 Halogen lights will be 55 watts that is what the Feds say is legal after that it is up to you what you are doing.... I have a set of H-4 Headlights for my Nissan pickup and they came standard 55/65 watt hi/lo beams I replaced them with 85/100 watts bulbs.

And the lights should already have a working set of bulbs in them so you should not have to purchase any until you need to replace them. You don't pay $85.00 for non functioning lights. Hella would not be in bussiness if they did that....

How do the Hella angel eye fog lights work? It's weird, the lights are still in the box, and you can push a button on the box and activate the LED ring... How is the Ring getting it's power? Also, are the bulbs that they come with pretty bright? At least, if not brighter then my stock fog lights??

Jeff

I can't answer the question about the led rings lighting up but i would guess that they're hooked up to a battery for demo purposes in all the boxes. LED's don't require a lot of power to light up....

The H-3 should be brighter than the stock fog lights on the car. just make sure you follow the aiming instructions so that you don't blind people coming at you....

yeah, that wire is hooked up to some battery looking thing for show purposes only. The actual bulb in the center is much brighter than stock. Stock is like 37.5 watts and the angel eye bulb is 55watts, plus in a better housing.

Angel eyes are actually driving lights made for off road use. Says so on the box. Aim them low if you're using them as fogs.

[blake]

how do you aim angel eye fog lights??

[Kdawg207]

with the thumb screw behind the stock housing...

ahhh....thanks :thumbs:
