Thanks guys, I finally got out there and did the wiggle thing and waa-laa, an H1

Now, if I can only find those Toucans that you talked about down there. I went to their site and did a dealer locator - the closest dealer is 500mi away

Thanks again guys!

I bought some Eurolite bulbs HERE. I received them in two days. I bought the 9007 Super plasma bulbs. I don't have fog lights. If I did i would be happy to buy another set of the bulbs.

UPDATE *Driverside FOG Burned out*

Its now August (so its been 4months since i installed all the bulbs). The Sylvania are still going strong but the toucan fog light h3's took a crap. The passenger side still works but the drivers side bulb burned out.
I will pick some more h3's up but this time ill go with a Piaa bulb or something similar. I will also stick closer to stock wattage to this time.

For what i paid for the toucans i cant say im upset that they burned out. I did get 4mo out of the cheaper bulbs..

I'm sort of confused. So will an H3 work in my 2001 or do I need an H1 or an 899??? Please help clear this up. Someone is selling H3's and i was going to get them, but if they are wrong i will go buy what is right.
thanks

Okay so here goes; I got a 1998 explorer and I am not sure what kind of foglight bulbs are in there but I wasn't able to upgrade the bulbs so I replaced the whole foglight with an aftermarket one. I put in 100 watt bulbs and they are literally as bright as my headlights which is very cool. But because of all the damn slopp (SNOW) here in clevland I shattered both of them. What do you guys recommend for replacing the factory foglights, or do you know what bulb I need to upgrade factory foglights???? email me bigmoose17@aol.com PLEASE!!!!

Your '98 should either take the 885/893/899 or an H3 but the latter is extremely rare. My '96 has the same front end as your '98 so we should have the identical fog lamp assemblies so I would suggest the 885. They're 55W instead of the stock 37.5W.

I bought my bulbs on ebay for like $13 so it's totally worth it!

someone has a set of H3 for sale on this board in the for sale forum

 

[xlt-sport]

h3 bulbs will not, repeat NOT work in factory foglights from ford, unless you have a 'euro spec' x!

885/893/899 ONLY in '96/'97/'98 x's.

Xenon Fog Bulbs

i have a 95 X and I have 885 bulbs which are 55w, does anyone know if a Xenon 885 bulb is made so that I can plug it in? Help me guys.

Christian, these are the ones I bought from Ebay. It works pretty well. It's very bright!! I used to be able to look directly to the light and won't get blinded but this will blind ya. haha...

This is one of them. Do a search on Ebay. Type in "885", then click everything else in the catagory section on the left then click "Ebay Motors."
