Go to www.autotoys.com Dont buy the Sylvania 885's they are still yellowish just slightly brighter than stock,the autotoys ones have a bluish hue to them like your new headlight bulbs. Heres a pic:  these will work also,they are new at autotoys.com http://store.autotoys.com/cgi-bin/wfp53024.storefront [This message has been edited by Journie (edited January 23, 2001).]

Make sure that your lights go all the way into the housing. I thought my new bulbs were in but one of them wasn't. It came out and layed on the housing melting it. I have to either replace my stock housing or get new lights, not to mention it ruined on of my expensive autotoys bulbs.

I put in the Syvania #885's for $23.00, huge improvement. Got them from the local PepBoys too. These are 50 watts of power.

I did the same thing as well. The replacement fog light housing from ford is expensive though. Even with my body shop discount,basically at cost, it was ~70 bucks or so.
I have a dream, and that is a 69 Boss 302 with Jules Asner in it.

what would you guys suggest in the way of 885's? i don't want 893's because i don't want to melt my lense. i want something whiter/bluer (slightly) than stock. one of my bulbs just burnt out ;\
