Default Fog light bulbs

One of my fog light bulbs went out so I purchased some off of Amazon.

They are coming on but from inside the car, when you turn them on you can't even tell they came on. Don't know what I had before because I threw them away. Anyone know what I should get that's a reasonable price?

These plug-and-play bulbs These plug-and-play bulbs
from Beamtech are plenty bright and won't break the bank. Get the 800 series. They use heatsinks rather than fans (silent operation and no moving parts to fail). No need to deal with ballasts and less heat than HIDs.

Besides the 880 configuration, Beamtech offers them in 9005 and 9006 configurations and have been reported as very good.


As you can see in the picture below, their design emulates a halogen bulb.




There's also NightEye, which as far as I can tell is identical to BeamTech, but with prices substantially lower. It has been reported as very good as well:

Fogs for some cars are headlights for others. These are fogs. But I’d still go with the radioflyer. See how they say “880” same as your description.

OEM foglight bulbs are 899. The ones you got as replacement are listed as 880, 886, 890, 892 compatible. I told you to get the 800 Series and gave you a link specifically to the 880.

I have them installed. They fit perfectly and they kick ***!

Hello, I tried to follow the link for the Radio Flyer lights and the link seems down. Further more I tried to do a web search and it seems the RadioFlyer site is down. Where did you purchase these lights? Are they still in business?

They have changed name from RadioFlyer to Sharp Light Innovations. Here is the web site.

Name change was a strange idea. Radioflyer must have filed BK and opened up under another name.

If you can make the "Sharp Light", link work then you are a better man than me. Thanks for trying.

When I bought mine from Radio Flyer, they were Beamtech LEDs. Very impressed with the light output and color. But go through eBay or Beamtech themselves to save on the Corvette Tax
