Stock is 893. Many use 885 instead which is brighter (37w vs 50w). Some have reported that the 885 will damage the housing is used constantly. I use 885 but I don't use them all that much.

While I cannot specifically recall whether the correct 37 watt bulbs are the 885s or 893s, you might do a search based on those numbers to get confirmation. While both fit, the wrong one is a 50 watt bulb, and many old posts were done about the plastic fog lenses overheating/melting when the 50 watt bulbs were used. HTH

37 watts is stock, you can do 50, but some people have melted their housing w/ those.

See BigJim's post above, I belive it is a different bulb number for a different wattage.
