Hello all, anyone know a replacement bulb part # and brand for the factory fog lights? Went to local auto parts they have a GE book and don't even list a replacement part #. I'm looking for something brighter.
Thanks

hardbody - on our 2001 the bulb number was 898 ... but they vary, check your owners manual.
Good luck finding a replacement ... I couldn't.
With the plastic lens' it will probably be very difficult to upgrade to a brighter bulb.
I am in the process of just replacing the fog lights with some after-market Halo lights. That way I don't have to fiddle around with plastic lens' and impossible bulbs. Many places carry fog and/or driving lights ... I just happened to get mine a AutoAccessories.com. (they advertise on this site)

The factory bulb is series 898, but 894 and 891 are suitable replacement sizes.

894 bulbs are the same wattage, means same heat output. But the y put out 25% more light. The stock bulbs in mine, 899, had a dark grey ceramic coating on the end, I suppose to cut glare for on-coming traffic. I think this coating, being dark grey, absobs and re-radiates the majority of the heat. Being th eclosest part of the bulb to the lens, I would think it could be the cause of the heat checking and cracking in the plastic lenses.
I have been running my foglights with the 894's a lot. It is winter now, maybe the cool weather keeps the heat transferring to the cold air. Will have to see if these bulbs crack the lense too, when the summer heat arrives.
