Default fog light replacement

Hey guys,

I just noticed one of my fog lights had gone out. Can some one send me a link on how to replace it, and what size of a bulb I need to replace it.

Thanks.

Fat arms stink for this. I had to get my wife to do it even when I took the headlight cover off.

Also think of buying the 885s instead of stock - they are much brighter. Plus you should adjust your Fog Lights up since they come from the factory too low.

Make sure you aim the fog lights, it makes a big difference.

I have a tendency to try all the difficult routes first for some reason. After realizing it was a two second job.

Haven't aimed them yet...are there trim screws on the fog light housing? Are the screws accessible from the outside (front of car)...or inside (from under car or via headlight bezel)? Do you aim them at your garage door at night to adjust?

Aggie99,

I know you have already replaced the bulb but if you are interested in the best performing Halogen bulbs you can get for the Corvette then I recommend getting SYLVANIA SilverStar Halogen bulbs.

I bought them at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

The SilverStar fog light replacement is: 893ST

I replaced all of the bulbs in my C5 with SilverStars and it made a HUGE difference
