bulbs
I need to know the highest wattage bulb that will fit into my stock foglight. I have the GLASS lenses so I am not worried about melting or whatever. I think that 885 fit into the stock location
I think that someone put 885'* in but i forget are they just regular haolgen or are they silverstar
I hate the yellow look of the fogs with silverstar highs and lows

I ordered mine from www.sylvania.com
Mine stock were 880'* I tried some 893'* I had laying around from the Aurora and they did fit fine and were brighter put I have plastic and could feel major heat difference between the too. So I went with Angle Eyes, not much more than the cost of two silverstars. But I also agree that I hate the yellow fogs with silverstar lamps and had to get some silverstars for the angle eyes too. Much happpier with the all silverstar 4000K color output now.
The 893'* were 50watt by the way. Actual yellow/gold color from www.classicgarage.com

I don't know how much the SS 880s cost, but it might be just as cost effective to just replace the lights with aftermarkets. It'* been posted here many times, but the Cyberwhite Navigators go for about $40, tax included.
Just throwin' it out as an option....

I first ordered a pair of 885'* but then I had a flashback of them melting my plastic so, I went with the 38 watt one insted.
