Wow, a year later and this thread is back. The stock bulbs are 883's, are 37.5 watts and are a fog lamp (black tip). The 885's are a direct replacement driving lamp (clear tip ), and are 50 watts. They are brighter and safe/legal. I've had mine in for over 2 years now with no problems and I also run my fogs as DRLs.
