I was woundering if anyone had changed the bulbs in their fog lights, what lights they put in, and how hard it is. Tahnks, Bud

 

I Changed mine, just turn on the headlights, reach down and turn the fog light bulb, and pull it out, if you have large hands it won't work. Don't touch the glass on the bulb. It will burn out real fast.

Aim the fog lamps, it makes a difference.

What kind of bulbs did you put in?

 

885

 

 

When your doing that change your Headlights to Silverstarts 9005ST and 9006ST. you should also adjust your fogs since they are aimmed too low from the factory.

Here is my quick writeup for changing the lights...

Headlight Change. Lift the hood and take off the 2 back torx screws (I think #15) that hold the top cover. I would then manually raise the lights and remove the screws holding the black plastic housing (the plastic housing has like a clip on the top so it needss to slide down and then up to get it out - easy once you see it)

You then can get to the remaining torx screws holding the top cover. After that you just need to reach in and twist the light out of the socket. Once out yyou will then see the lip that needs to be raised to get the light away from the wiring. Just match your light to the one you pulled for high and low beams ( I think the high beams are the inside lamp, but it is easy to tell once you have the old light out).

If you have time I would also replace your fog lights with 885s since you have everything off already. You just have to reach further down and get to the fog light. It is a tight fit though so small arms would be beneficial. It just twists out.

When done just replace the top with the 2 outside torx and then slide the black plastic housing back on and put those screws back. Then lower the light again and put in the remaining 2 torx that are on the back.

Easy to do should take about 1/2 hour and the Silver Starts are so much whiter than those yellow stock lights...

I would also adjust the Fog Lights. There is a DIY writeup on how to do it, but in short there is a small hole next to the fog and inside a small torx #15 screw that can be adjusted. You only need a few turns to get the height to a better level.

 

885's

 

Silverstar 885

 

Where did you get the Silverstar 885 fog bulbs. I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Thanks

The 885s Fogs are not Silver Star just a different wattage (I think 50 watts). You can only get the headlights as Silver Stars.

 

I had the 50 watt bulb in for about a year and had no problem but decided to try the PIAA 1100x. All I can say is, it's bright and what a improvement over the higher wattage bulb!

 

I bought my Silverstar 885 from Pepboys. Autozone also sells them so does Wallyworld.
