The short answer, I found...is no. The 894 bulb is the only one I found that would fit (you know, how you twist into the assembly). That's why I replaced the entire housings. Plus, the glass on mine were all jacked up.

880 has lower output than 894/893..... which is the opposite of what he asked.

Here's basically what I did.

1) I replaced my stock fog light housings with a pair of Hella Micro DEs
2) I bought a 10000K (to match my lows) HID kit
3) Replaced to stock Hella bulbs with the HID ones

Modifying the stock bracket to fit the Hella housings took some work, but it worked out.

And since I was replacing the stock fog lights, I could use the stock switch and no need to mess with extra fuses or relays. I've had this set up for over a year, and it's worked like a champ.

I bought 12000K lights off of ebay and that brightened them up a ton. Plus it was only 10 bucks after shipping.
