thought 9006 was the lows? Don't remember.. easiest way is look @ the bulb.. the one with a greay coating that covers the front tip of the bulb is for the lows

Thanks guys!

I'm looking at sylvania silverstars to replace my current bulbs. Can these be used in the fogs also? I have found some that are labelled 880ST...would these work for the fogs?

Also, does anyone know where i can find these for the cheapest?

There have been several members here myself included that have had premature failure of the 880ST capsules, reasons unknown. I would stay with the conventional 880 for fog. The 9005, 9006ST'* seem to be fine. Check the on-line auto supply web sites for prices. They usually run about $20 per bulb.
