I don't see any pictures of them after cleaning. Please tell me that what you did makes them look better than what I see here.

Thank you, Where did you find the specs. for the foglights. I looked in the owners manual and it didn't list a replacement bulb ?Did you pick a regular 880 bulb or is there brighter bulbs out there ? I already replaced my upper and lower headlights with sylvania silverstars ? You have to drive at night to see the imporvment in lighting. For what they cost, I think their worth it !

I used 885's as they are 50w (vs. 37w for OEM)

I would be a bit concerned with the 100w 880's. Might be a bit much for the wiring and harness. Keep us updated.
