Go to Walmart and buy a single cheap 881 bulb. If it fits, then buy the ones you want. If it doesn't, then you know and you are only out a couple bucks.

885's fit right into your fogs & are 50 watt instead of the stock wattage (if you're heading to WalMart) .

i think the connector on a 881 comes off the bulb at a 90 degree angle where the 893 come straight off the light

The foglights can be opened to access the bulb?

Lay down under the nose of your car & look up under there . You'll see a pair of "flaps" under the foglight locations . Pull 'em down & you'll see te backs of the lights under there . Pull out the stock 893's - slap in a pair of #885's & you'll be golden . Don't forget to also crank up the foglights while you're under there . In & around the flaps , there's an oblong/oval hole . Look into the hole & you'll see a phillips screw . Turn that screw clockwise & it'll crank the beam up to a managable level . With the stock spring under the screw , it makes it VERY difficult to crank it up too high (blinding oncoming traffic) . I've done this several times & it makes a BIG difference (I removed the screw & cut the spring though ) .

paul let me know if you try those 881 and they work, i think they might work. i think there enough slack in the harness to allow a 90 degree bulb in there. just wonderin if it fits though. someone has had to have tried this

Why not just put the 885's in as the fogs ? It's got a straight plug (like the stock 893) , They fit in with NO mods whatsoever , it's 50 watt , instead of the (weak) 37 watts of the stockers (or the ultra-weak 27 watts for the 881's) , and has been used by many , many CEGers for YEARS . I installed my first set in my '95 SE back in '97 , into my brother's '95SE in '98 and into my '00 SVT on the second day I owned it - no ill effects on any of them , BTW .
