Okay, I've never changed my fog lights. I've done the headlights and know that you need a whole new light housing, not just a bulb. what about the fog lights? are they the same or is it just a bulb?

no its just a bulb. the bulb is a 885

Quick question... do you have a double jointed arms & hands??

These were quite tricky to change.

I have the thumbs & long arms, I'm thinking when I did this I did not ramp the front which would help, you have to yrach uo In & under something to reach the lamp base.

I'm pretty sure the dealer or shop manuals procedure was releasing the entire front facade, I was able to do it removing 3-6 of those plastic rivits.... another design where the engineer should be shot, I have one that only stays on for a few minutes, so I may be doing this very soon.

Is there any aftermarket housings that are drop in for this?

I would go for the diachloric yellows personally.

880 fits into 885 for fog light conversion. the sealed beam housings have to be retrofitted with something that will accept a replaceable bulb. Hella makes a really nice set up, but there are a lot of cheaper kits on ebay.

Believe I got my housings for my low beams from a company called Auto Optics..( & fitted them with 9005 or 9006 lamps) unsure if they are around still, only drawback these are made of steel & might be succeptable to rust if you are driving in the salt.

I had removed the reflector in the Factory fog lamp, this requires removal of the lense then re-gasketing it. Throws a bit different beam pattern.

i converted my sealed beams to open beams. i have the ultra in for now till i save up for some 10k's

I've found this site to be a huge help for my 4th gen. I used this guide to change out a broken foglamp a few years ago and it was nice to have this as a step-by-step guide!

I have an inoperable right fog light on my 94 3.4 Camaro. This is a great site and thanks for the link. I book marked it so I can go back to it this spring when it warms up. Thanks coolcamaroz28 for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely go from under the car, tried changing out mine from the front one time and last time. If you change out 1 bulb better off doing them both, cause sure enough as soon as you do one the other will be out within days.

fbodyauto · 02-04-2010, 11:42 AM
