if i get aftermarket foglights for my t/a, would the pigtails on the new lights match up to the ones on my harness?

Bulbs or Housings?

Bulbs: Yes

Housings: No because they typically use different bulbs, but you can make the connection.

Here is how I did mine:

(I have a formula, but it should be the same connector.)

That's the turn signal bulb, not the fog light.

i want to find a product where i can just swap the housings and put new bulbs in and power up. I dont care if the bulbs are different, i just want the pigtails to match up.

Yeah I'm not paying attention (tired).

You need 880s or 894s. 880s will be straight and 894s will have a 90 degree bent in them.

OK.... what is it that you want? ... bulbs or the entire housing?

If you want a new aftermarket housing, its going to be a custom install.


The stock fog light bulbs for the 1998-2002 Firebird are 880.

If you want new/brighter bulbs, technically 880,881,893,894 all fit into the same housing and plug into the same connector. The only difference is the angle of the connector.
880 --- 27.5 Watt, straight connector
881 --- 27.5 Watt, right-angle connector
893 --- 35 Watt, straight connector
894 --- 35 Watt, right-angle connector

You can replace the 880 with a 893 which will be brighter, but it will be hotter and you risk melting the plastic fog light housing. I know from experience. The stock housings also leak and blow bulbs too often to bother with expensive bulbs. Therefore, I replaced my housings with aftermarket units (which use H3 bulbs). Here is my writeup: www.fadingarrow.com/foglights.htm They have been installed since at least the beginning of last year without any issues. The lens is completely clear. The bulb is tinted blue. I don't much care for tinted bulbs but thats what they came with and I'll leave them until they blow. I didn't connect the LED rings.
