to convert your fogs to 9004, easy to get silverstar 9004's


BTW i love the silverstars, i got to spair sets for my car at $5 per sealed beam, they were 75% off because it was the prior style packaging and not the new silverstar pack beats the $20 X's 4 i spent when i first got them

i really dont want to do a big conversion... se, my ride is at my mechanics cause im getting exhaust work done and i got some diamond clear parking lights for xmas im finally installing..with silverstar bulbs...already have silverstar headlights...so i want the fogs to match and not be nasty yellow-ish like they are now..

can anyone tell me if any of the 880-893 line of silverstar bulbs will work? i know my camaro calles for 885... but the only 885 that exists is a stock replacement from sylvania.. it is NOT a silverstar, though I have seem silverstar fog bulbs for 880, 893, and various others. so can anyone tell me if one of these will work without any modding?

It doesn't look like Sylvania makes a silverstar version of the 885. The 893 bulbs would work, but they are only 37 watts. The 885 is 50 watts. Kinda defeats the purpose of spending the extra money for silverstars.

look on ebay for a silverstar knock off brand, that has the "HID look" as they say

Dunno WHAT your seeing, but it is a FULL description, with part #s, for a 87 Camaro.....

Sylvania shows they do not make a 885ST bulb.

Try this...... http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/

sliver stars color temp is 4000K

if i were getting a off brand i would go with a 6000k would prob match it as best as it can, i wouldnt trust a 4000k off brand to be the same color as a silver star

reg halogen is 3100K

stupid links not working right.......fact of the matter is there is NO silverstar direct replacement for a camaros fog light

RiggsLW81

i understand there is no DIRECT FIT fog bulb for our camaro fog lights...i know the reg bulb part # is 885...

what im TRYING TO FIND OUT FROM ANYONE HERE...is what silverstar fog bulb CAN I USE...to match my headlights...they do make fog bulbs, i just thought that since alot of poeple here are more knowledgable than me, they could give me apart # of a silverstar fog bulb, that WILL FIT in the camaro fog light housing without any issues...

ive been aware the whole time there is no silverstar 885 bulb... thats never what my post was about...simply what CAN BE USED in its place that is an actual silverstar bulb and not a knock off brand..

893ST, like said before, 37.5 watts aint much lower than 50, and it will have the same color temp as your headlights 4000k

other option is a even dimmer 880ST at 27 watts

or the conversion i gave you a link to

or an off brand 50 watt 6000k bulb (6000k and not 4000k because IMO a silverstar looks about the same as a 6000k on ebay)

here is a link to EVERY silver star bulb that the make, unless you can see someting that everyone on here that is tring to help you out cant see than i dont know what to tell you

thanx to everyone...and 89rs...appreciate all the info and specs...went with the 893ST fog bulbs..bought em today...ill post pics once their installed!

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

its a damn shame they dont make em that size........but IMO it should look good with the 893ST's

You can get any 88x series bulb. You'll just have to change your pigtail to match the bulb you do get.

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

yea but the only 88 series that silverstar makes is under 40 watts

krisb410

iTrader: (9)

That's plenty for the fog lights

RiggsLW81

iTrader: (4)

change your pigtail? im sorry, what does this mean? will the 893ST's i bought not plug right in?

paulo57509

Using this as a reference:

http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=2472

The 893 should plug into the existing OEM harness since this replacement pigtail fits but 885 and 893 bulbs.

Whether or not the bulbs will fit the housings is another matter.

krisb410

iTrader: (9)

All the 8xx bulbs fit in the same housing, the only difference in them is the plug on the back.

RiggsLW81

iTrader: (4)

i wish someone would have told me that, i already shipped the bulbs to my mechanic (hes far away), now you guys tlel me i need this harness? is it the only way it will fit or what?

i wish you guys gave me the whole story, i was under the impression this way plug and play.

so the 893st's will not fit without this harness?

krisb410

iTrader: (9)

You know, the stock plug (pigtail) may just work. I think your OK. If not, this would be really simple, and your mechanic should be able to hook them up.

paulo57509

You need to do some research on your own. A single Google or Yahoo search returned the following:

http://candlepowerinc.com/pdfs/700_800.pdf

According to this, the base for both 885 and 893 bulbs are the same. If you compare the drawings of both bulbs, it looks like they'll also fit the same housing. I think you're good to go.

krisb410

iTrader: (9)

It's like people are unaware of google and yahoo

Also seems like people are afraid to contact manufacturers to ask questions

from all i gatherd they will plug and play
