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.
