Don't waste the money for the 880'* for the fogs. Our housings aren't the best design and literally eat them
Upgrade to some Hella'* or a set of cyberwhite navigators with the H3 100W conversion

Buy two sets of 9005 bulbs and modify one set to work as low beams by removing the tab from the bulb socket, it will fit the 9006 wiring just fine if you remove that tab.
9005 bulbs are 65 watts, 9006 bulbs are only 55.

i did the mod and I have a solid light pattern. And can see the road a hell of a lot better. Plus I did a how-to in everything electrical on an alternate way/easier way of moding the lights without trying to cut out the tiny guides on the inside of the head light housing.
Oh and apparently the Extra Vision light bulbs from Wal-Mart are just as bright as silverstars but cost less and last longer.

FYI the difference from the Ultra to the regular bulb is not brightness.
According to the packaging and the way they market them is that the Ultra has a 30% longer lifespan than a regular SS.
Odd because I've had my SS'* nearly 3 years and they are going strong.
