One of my foglights recently went out. If i recall correctly, in the past there was a post about how you can upgrade your foggies with a different size. Can anyone tell me what size fits.

I just replaced my bulbs with Sylvania 885's.
They are the same as our bulbs except they are 50 watt instead of the 38 watt that were in there before. Makes a huge difference!

The Sylvania #885's are the way to go, what a huge up grade Make sure you go ahead and align the foglights while your at it, theres the screw that makes it go up/down, you'll see it. It cost me $23.00 at a local Pep Boys.

Got the 885 and love them, much brighter and go well with the PIAA I have. Got the 885 at Kragen for $ 8.00 each!!! What a deal!

Well, I also run the 885s in my SVT, and with the foglight fix I have them on all the time... Now they're melting the foglight lenses away, I have a big bulge in the center of my lenses now Anybody else having that problem?

my svt does that to...the wattage is too high and it is melting the lens....this used to happen to me on my mustang. what you do is drill a pin hole size in the foglight lens from the inside out (so water doesn't get in). i haven't gotten around to it yet (i am lazy...hehehe), but this is the best fix for it that i know...good luck.
