fog lights
Put 885 bulbs in there BOTH SIDES you will think they are HEADLIGHTS.
885 is 50 or 55 watts and the 889 or 893 in there now is only 37 watts.
As I remember you need to take out a few black screws holding the mud splash cover or whateveryoucallit underneath the front. Reach in and I think they untwist. OR...
Turn on the headlights or crank them out manually, remove the 3 screws holding on the plastic black shrooud, and reach in a long way. If your hands are as big as mine you might attack from the bottom. When done use a torx driver to reaim the lights. Mine were too low. Park about 20 feet from a garage door or wall and adjust similar to where your headlights are.
Have Fun

With the 885s.Also, do not forget to aim them, they come all screwed up from the factory.

The easiest way to change the fog lamp bulb is to:
1. raise the hood
2. raise the headlights
3. remove the headlight side-cover on the engine side of the assembly
4. reach down in the space you've created, unplug the fog lamp pig-tail, twist the bulb, remove, and replace.
No getting on the floor, 4 screws to back out.
