replacement fog lights
I can't seem to find any replacement fog lights other than the standard 880 bulb. Anybody have any vendor and part numbers that will fit my 98 SSEi. Looking for something a bit better than the standard 880'*. Thanks for the help.

Don't forget to change out the 15 amp fuse with a 20 amp or you'll blow it when you switch! The 880'* are 37 watt and the 885/893 are 50'*. Here'* a good site for bulbs:

There are combo packs at the bottom that fit our cars...headlights, brights, and driving, all in one box!

i'm considering upgrading to piaa xtreme white plus h3s for the blazers. i've seen they, and they seem incredibly brighter than the blazer factory bulbs. they draw 55w and perform to 85w. i'm pretty sure the wiring for the blazers will be able to accommodate for this!

I put 880 Xenon blubs in my '96 SSEi and they have melted the stock lens? Where can I get replacement lens? or better lens? Does anyone make an aftermarket fog light that will fit/mount the same as the stock fog light?

I run the Navigators. You guys are right, that'* the best path. If you don't have the budget right now, then go 885 or 893 instead of the stock 880. Did the 94 really have the 880'*? That would mean the 93 was the last year at 50w stock.
If the lenses melt, you have to replace the whole assembly. Lenses aren't replaceable individually. Go Blazertech or Navigator. I'd prefer the Navigator simply for ease of installation. The Navigator bracket mounts very easily to the stock bracket. Both of these lights are blue tinted to remove the yellow wavelengths, both have a superior design in the reflector assembly over stock, both are 55w, and both are about the same price. Both are also slightly smaller than the stock diameter light which allows greater airflow to the bottom of the radiator if you have an SSEi, SLE, or SSE.
