I tried to get a replacement fog light bulb on my previous Camaro and they said they needed the part number off the bulb to get you a new one. So either try and get the remaining bulb out and take it in, or find the PN off the net.

yup. I think sylvania # is 894/896...same bulbs though..any parts store has them. I have had 4-5 since I use them all the time also.

do u really only use your fog lights. cause i have 6 K real hids and was wondering about that.

The stock bulb in the 1998-2002 Firebird (base, Formula, and Trans Am) is 880.

893 will fit, but its higher wattage (37.5 watt vs. 25 watt) and will melt the housing.

I know from experience.

is there any other housing that could replace the factory that wont melt. cause i have some 6K HID's and they melted the houseing on both fog lights. any ideas

i thought that hid's actually run at a lower temperature but use a different kind of gas......

no i dont have them in mone yet, but ill run just my fogs until i get pulled over becuase itd be cool.

i was using the silverstars (880) and they kept burning out. i went through 5 and stopped using them. im pretty sure its because the bulbs got touched. but im saving up and im gonna go HID.

I too thought HID bulbs burned at a lower temperature....wonder why housings are melting. i too have a 6K kit form a memeber here, but haven't wired them in yet, wondering now if i should if people are having issues with melting the housings.....

muddmanWS6

yea thats what i thought. ive heard nothing but good things about them and never thought about that. but i have no idea why they get so hot nor does the person i got them from.

well i want some for my truck, and have a few friends that have them on their trucks, no complaints till i read this....i want to put them on my dakota but not if i have to go back out and buy new housings every once in a while. especially since i would have to buy the night runner housing which is extra

I know fog lights are cool, i love them myself. But i had so many problems with them on the LT1 that i deleted them (mounting brackets in all etc.) Threw them in the pile with the back seats/spare tire etc. 100pds =1 tenth of a second, gotta start somewhere.
