Saturday, July 31, 2010 6:55 PM
I have a 2001 z24. I bought some 8500k xenon blue bulbs both head & fog lights off ebay. (eurodesigns)

Well i put in the headlight ones two days ago, works great, was jsut trying to put in the fogs, i plugged them in, and afetr a few seconds there smoking an burning hot! good thing i didnt screw em in before i tried em.
the bulb # on the new ones are 893, though said compatible with 880's too.

Whats the problem? help please.

I checked eurodezigns website and the bulbs have a higher wattage - 37.5w for 893 vs. 27w for the 880. wouldnt think that be too big of a deal though. but Ive heard of people putting in 50w bulbs with no problem, can anybody else help?

I agree Ive had 55watt fogs and no issues. Ebay for HIDs is a horrible idea.

Go to DDM Tuning and get a quality set of HIDs.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

You're right, didn't catch that at first.

You're overloading the factory wiring with those bulbs and melting the harness most likely. Too much power draw.
