our foglights are 880's, but you can put a few in there instead (885, 893, and I think one or two more). The only real difference between the numbers is the wattage. If you're looking for xenon-look bulbs, your best bet would be to find them in the 893 size. There are usually a few set of those on ebay. Go there and try searching for "893 xenon". I hope this helps. :thumbs:

I put some 893 bulbs in my fogs about 2 months ago. I got some xenon bulbs from Hiper industries. They are brighter (38 watt as opposed to the stock 27 watt). They look great, and match my silverstar headlights perfectly. The only downside is that the chrome housing on the inside is starting to turn brownish-yellow from the higher output of light. I have a bad feeling that if I continue using them, my whole housing will be this color, looking stupid during the daytime. (not that anyone looks at your fogs much during the day)

By the way, my avatar is my cars' lights.

Technically they are 37.5 watts...;)
but you dont want the 885's, when i had them, they melted my lens'. so i switched to the 883's but then couldnt see out of my lens...now i have these badazz meijer foglights that i got for 30$ that are identical to the blazertechs.

This one is all I have right now. This is the pic my avatar came from.

Keep in my mind that in this pic, the lights have a yellow tint to them, but in person, they do not. The yellow tint is from the flash from my camera..... they are perfectly white in person. This basically just shows how well they match my silverstars and how bright they are.

I have the 55w 885 in, put 'em in last night... So I should be worried about my lenses melting also? Damn I already chucked the other bulbs... Good thing the local pepboys carries Uncle Ben's product line! Guess I'll get some hyperhwite apc junk tonight
