Camaro stock are 894 I thought, and that's why I had asked you about two weeks ago in PM for the info. DDM doesn't even sell the series I need then, crap! Maybe it is time to swap to H3 fog housings? Is there a way to do this?

I've seen 881 & 894 listed as the stock fog light bulb. You can get Hella H3 fog light projectors which will fit, but the stock Camaro fog light projectors aren't bad. It would be easier and cheaper to get a replacement set of 894 HID bulbs (you can get them for $30 for a pair at some places) that will plug into your existing ballasts (all kit ballasts and all kit bulbs use the same AMP connectors -- OEM & Replica setups are different, they use D1S, D2S, D4S). BTW, DDM Tuning does sell 880 series kits which will fit. I just checked to confirm it. You may be able to get the kit swapped. Otherwise, they do sell the 880 HID bulbs separately for $30 for a pair.

I feel like I need to update this even though the thread is old.

I finally got around to taking my foglight housing out while I was at home this weekend (The one with the messed up beam pattern).

Anyways I took apart the housing and found that the reflective stuff on the inside of the housing was mostly cracked and peeling off. Thats why the light output was so bad. Got some high temp chrome paint and redid it, and now its pefect. Gotta do the other side now

You found some high temp chrome paint? What's it called? Where can I get it? How much is it?

Oh. So its not high temp paint? You might have a problem with heat. That paint will probably get damaged over time.
