Default Need help with HID fog lights!

I blew another fog light bulb on my car. This is my 2nd in only around 3 years or so. Well at around 25-30 a pop for a new set I figured screw this I will get HID fogs. That new site that someone posted vvme.com has almost the same price for HID's as it costs to get new Silverstar bulbs so why not.

However they don't sell 899, however they sell the 880's. I am pretty sure that the 880's are the same as 899 just not as powerful (when talking about regular halogen bulbs). I am pretty sure my OEM fogs even had 880's in them from Ford, but it was years ago I swapped out to Silverstars and changed them (to 899 which are 34watts over 24 for the 880s) and I can't remember now.

Help?

And those are the exact ones P got in the 6000K temp. IIRC

Sweet deal thanks man. I am trying to fix a few broken and haggard things on my car right now. I have a bad fog light, a burned out plate bulb, and my tranny needs to be serviced with a fluid change along with my rear end. Trying to get my car 100% before law school starts for me soon as I won't be able to do anything once I start that.

Well I was about to finally pull the trigger and do it, but after shipping and the ridiculous $15 fee they add because I want 5k not 6k with shipping its over $72. Screw that mess I found a place on ebay that is cheaper does not charge for getting the 5k over 6k and does free shipping. I am gonna do it for sure.

Not for me I don't like the blue tint in lights. 5k is just a really nice white light no hint of blue hardly at all.
