I bought 880s, but found that I had to modify the housing as the bulbs are too long. Also, I hwas hoping as the fog lights have "projectors" there wouldn't be a lot of stray light/glare, however, even after pointing them down, there is severe glare, and every other car I pass at night flashes me, so I have them off until I can make some sort of shield to reduce the glare. I have projectors/Xenons for my headlights as well and they don't have the same problem. ALSO, The ballasts make my wiper motor wig out due to the current draw on the tiny stock wires, so I had to add a relay to remedy this issue. hope this info helps you out.

I have 10k HID for my fogs, which I replaced with Hella Micro DE lights, and I've never been flashed.
