sliverstar bulbs for fogs?

[merc97]

Is it possible to use sliverstar bulbs in my stock fog lights? My fog lights use a 893bulb. If yes what number sliverstar would fit???

the silverstars dont come in an 893 series bulb

im not positive but i THINK the 893 is an H1 bulb, you can take the 9005 bulb(i hope) and modify it to fit the factory bulb location

THE 893 IS NOT AN H1--OR ELSE THEY WOULD CALL IT AN H1 AND NOT A 893........

Then what type would match the Silverstars that came in a 893(I thought the builb was 899?)?

i believe the stock fog bulb is a 899, however, 893 is what size the euro xenon ones come in. most people have used the xenon 893 bulbs and havent had a problem from what i remember.

just not a eurolite bulb , if you use them your wasting yoru time they blow in no time

For those who need an 899 bulb, the 9005 or 9006 will _NOT_ fit. The 899 base is way smaller than the 9000 series. Some of the newer fog lamps use a 9145 bulb, and you can modify a 9005 to fit there. What I did find was that the 899s in my '01 XLT are actually H1s in an adapter of some type. Haven't had to replace a bulb yet, but I believe I can get an H1 to work.

for people with the round fogs from 99-01, can use the 9005 bulbs with a little modification. modification of the taps involves a little filing. for people with the rectangular fogs, i dont know if you can put silverstars in.
