PSUPef2k said:Can you give me a part number and/or a brand name to look for? I think Sylvania pulled the Silverstar foglights that they had since they only worked for 100 hours, But I found the 893 silver stars on this website. Also, when I put in 2001 mustang, it comes up with 893ST for foglights, and also 880ST, which it says replaces the 893ST. Are the 880ST's the new bulb that lasts longer like a bulb should?

So are those the ones that are only rated for 100 hours?
do I need to take the bracket out to snap out the fog light assembly? Any suggestions on where to order new foglight assembly (without the brackets)from?Give Me TP said:Getting the top two attachment bolts for the brackets out was a PITA for me, but it's worth it. If I knew then what I know now it would have been much easier. BTW the fog light assembly simply snaps out of the bracket.
I ordered them up, so hopefully they are as good as you say. How long have you had them? If they hold up, it's not a bad deal for $20 shipped.Mustang5L5 said:The 883ST was what i used. THe 880ST will work, but it's not as bright. It runs at a lower wattage.
As for my foglights

those are the exact bulb i use. Don't let the ricer blue thing fool you, it lights up white and matches my silverstar headlights perfectly.

Give Me TP said:Yes
I bought mine from MustangTuning, but you can probably get them on eBay as well. I ran a bead of clear silicone around the edge of the lens on mine, just to prevent the potential leaks/fogging that aftermarket light asemblies are notorious for having.

and some silicon to seal it, I should be ok?
Damn, I bet the clear lenses make the lights bright as hell.
Give Me TP said:Yes the clear lenses actually make them functional and look better as well.
where can I get the silicon to seal it?langod said:Hey PSUP -- make sure you post back here after you get them all installed and let us know how the install went and if you like what you ordered.
I wouldn't have to worry about them melting in their would i?Mustangl3 said:Go to best buy and see if they have the redline 9007 headlight bulbs. They are brighter and whiter than my friends silverstars and they're only like $15 or $20. I've had mine for about a year with no problems but im not sure if they still carry them.
Where did you get the silicon sealer?Give Me TP said:Yes
To prevent leaking I ran a bead of clear silicone between the lens and housing. They might not leak anyway but I wanted to insure that. No signs of melting yet with HIDs installed.
you can get a small tube of it at home depot. like 2bucks...ask in the paint section.PSUPef2k said:Where did you get the silicon sealer?
PSUPef2k said:Where did you get the silicon sealer?
Well, I got it and sealed them and they are in.Give Me TP said:Pep Boys (Permatex clear silicone)
