Replacement fog lamp bulbs? I only need the bulb, no the whole assembly.

The stock fog light bulbs are #880 (#881 for Camaro) which are 27 watt/43 candlepower. You can replace the bulbs with #893 (#894 for Camaro) which are 37 watt/75 candlepower (almost twice as bright but still pretty dim). The next step up is #885 (#886 for Camaro) which are 50 watt/100 candlepower bulbs but these have been known to cause enough heat to melt the plastic sockets and warp the lenses.

The Firebird and Camaro bulbs are basically the same except that Firebirds have a straight connector and Camaros have a right angle connector.

Anything more than the stock 27watt in the Firebird will melt the housings. I know from experience. If you really want brighter fog lights, you'll have to replace the housings with aftermarket units that accept an H3 or other brighter bulb.
