ok fogs are out, got some questions.

[Rollin Thunder]

ok one of my fogs is out, i have the stock now , tried the fake HID bulbs and they were crap , so i went back to stock, anyway. is stock bulbs the best way to go, im not really ready to go get an HID kit for them yet as i do use them alot.

i am looking at the SILVERSTAR's (but 50 bucks a pair , for 880st) , are they good, im looking for usuable light.

or can you reccommend a good set of somthing for them, the bulbs are 880.

thanks

Silverstar Ultras are the way to go. That's what I am running in my rig. $50 bucks sounds a little steep though. Stay away from Xenon.

Also, just in general, you ought to stay within the rated wattage of the fog housing...by using the proper OE replacement bulb. I learned that the expensive way with my '07... Yeah, SilverStars are nice and bright, but you can cause a melt-down by "modding" things, trying to get that cool "bright light" thing happening. DOH! :nonod: Click on my "modded foglight" link in my sig below for my woeful SilverStars-in-the-fogs saga.

they make a silver star for the 880 fogs now too. Thats what i wanted to get their just like the stock except "ULTRA"


BTW, selling silverstar ultras (9006/9005) with included headlight houseings for 100 obo. :thumbsup: to make room for my the new hids and projector beams.

I ran the piaa extreme white and they looked sweet

I'm now running 2500k yellow bulbs that really help driving in blizzards here, plus I always liked the yellow fog look with hids.

any trouble with melting, im looking for extra light and help with fog, for the rest of the winter get get like 4 days of thick fog as were 70 in the day time and 30 at night, so we get FOG.

No issues with running them for extended periods. I was running the yellows for a few hours through the snow this morning and they were cold just like everything else.

great thanks, im gunna get paypal set up and place the order

edit- are these brighter than silverstars? i tried a 9005 bulb and the sockets are different so i have to stick to the 880s which would mean getting the ST's and not the SU's. SU's are brighter. but are PIAA's teh brightest?

It won't melt the housing if you don't have the proper wattage. The problem is that the wiring gets too hot and will melt the wire harness. I had this happen once on a previous car, I didn't know what I was doing.

i went with the PIAA xtreme, there awsome. so much better than the stock bulbs. :Chevy: :clapping:

before i ordered the ebay set i found a local dealer who gave me a pair for 50 bucks, so im happy, i needed them before today because here if any of your lights are out you fail the state inspection. so i was i a bit of a time crunch.

Ok so my stock fogs were stolen(go figure) so wheres the best place, and best price to get some more.Dont have to be an oem as long as it looks good.Im prob going with clear with the rest of the lights eventually
