[Derek's E.B.]

Headlight bulb...HID 9007?
Foglight bulb.....893?

Correct.

An 893, 899, or H3 will replace the fogs. For your reference, this may come very useful in the future: http://www.sylvania.com/bin/carApp/...FORD&year=&year=1996&model=Explorer&x=10&y=18

NO! H3 will not work for your '96. Only 885 (55w), 893, and 899 (both 37.5w) are the most common replacements for the fogs.

Given that Ford can't reliably get the right bulb number in the owner's manual, it's always a good idea to check.
