Well I thought since I have to buy bulbs and lights why not just add a little bit more and get HID's in the fogs too...
So people help me out for those that have done this... 00-02 Fog bulbs are _______________

I've got some 3000K HIDS in my 04 Cavalier
Left is Nokya 893 Hyper Yellow, Right is 3000K 880/881 HID
Weird beam pattern for the fogs but then again there fogs.

real hid's (well, plug n play stuff) in fog lights is a BAD thing. the beam pattern for fogs is supposed to be a scattered pattern, NOT a focused pattern. as for original size, its 880 (27 watt) and 893 also works (37 watt). higher wattage bulbs though will melt your housings (mine did).

The bulbs are 880..i just replaced mine yesterday..I went with the silverstars..i recommend those. there about 40 for the pair..but man they are bright as hell!
i do not recommend them as i blew a silverstar 880 in 5 months.

WoW thanks everyone. I didn't think that I would get this many post so fast. Just to let you guys in on something that I have an extra set of HID in my 95Z, and I'm just going to order bulbs for the fogs and use the rest of the kit to keep the price down on swaping the HID's over to the fogs on this 01 Z I have now. Thanks again guys.
I put the silverstars in my headlights about 9 months ago..i haven't blown one yet..so when my stock fog light blew i decided to put those in and thought they should hold up just as well
those putting HIDs in fogs.. have you checked to see if ur housings arent melted? i used some upgrade pure white luminics bulbs and it melted both of mine, couldnt even pull the bulb out of the housing, the plastic melted to them.

I've had mine in for about 3 months now and no melting.
