Random topic of 12/10/10: Are our fog lights even useful??
#11
897 or 894 or some **** like that sounds familiar. just ask the guy at autozone...their computer will tell you the exact bulb type for foglights, turn signals, running lights, headlights, etc...
or you can do what i did and pull your bulb in the parking lot and take it in with you and just eyeball it. its easy to tell which bulb it is.
but asking the guy at the counter is the sure fire way.

Yeah I forgot which ones I have, but whichever ones I have SUCK and are completely useless.
I still always have them on by default whenever I have my headlights on, just because...they're cooler and make me look like a tool?

Whatever you do, don't get the Sylvania silverstar ULTRA fog light bulbs...those things keep burning out like crazy. I eventually just decided to run the regular silverstars.
However I've been running the Silverstar Ultra headlight bulbs for over 2 years now with no problems at all and I'm quite happy with them

The stock lamps are GE #899 37.5W "miniature" lamps--they are described in many European catalogs as being for "toy/cosmetic fog or driving lights"...
I get chastised for for them ("eweww they are so ugly") by girlymen as Arnold would say, all the time, however to deal with real fog I have a pair of Hella 100W dichroic projectors:
They have a nice yellow "tending greenish" colour temperature that pierces the fog very well (it really doesn't, it's just that our eyes are most sensitive to green/yellow light¹):
And at 100W each are pretty damned bright--it all depends on your priorities...

¹ - BTW, this is why digital cameras have twice as many green sensors as red and blue.
