@sisson16: If you are going non-HID, about 11W. 880s are 27W, & 899s are 37.5W. 880 & 899 "sockets" are identical.

For some stupid reason, GM only put them in Corvettes in 2003 (my year). And I imagine it is a similar story with at least 2000-2005s.

I have heard/read that fixtures in Monte's are not "made" for that kind of wattage (heat output) over long periods of time, etc. Well, I do not see that as the case. The whole lighting set-up was just about the first mod I tackled the moment I purchased my car, & I already had the 899s waiting, plus another option for the 9006/9005 high/low(s) ...

Parking & low beams on ... (Low beam = Philips HIR1 9012, 55W)

Parking & high beams on ... (High beam = Philips HIR2 9011, 65W)


As with nearly any photo taken of headlights like these, if taken with flash, & daylight still lingering, they are going to come out looking "yellow(ish)" ... FWIW, I assure you, these are the brightest white I have ever had on a vehicle ... &, no, I have never played with HIDs ... & with all due, likely will not ever do so.

9011/90122 need the smallest of mods to "twist" right into the sockets of the headlight fixture(s). If you have a pair of sidecutters, it will take about 4 careful seconds to clip a small plastic tab, & if not, a few minutes with a file will accomplish the same task.

Also keep in mind, & I know folks on here are probably sick & tired of reading it, etc., but I have to keep saying it, there ARE clearly other options than Sylvania (Silver, Ultra, or otherwise) ... I just hope someday I read that someone else tried something different, even if it is Wagner.

 

@Zeke: Alright, thanks man but i am going to be running HIDs and i just checked on those 889 bulbs, but DDMtuning.com has all of those 880s classified under the same bulb so i guess they just make them all the same the same.

One last question before i order them today im not sure if i need 2 HID kits or just one kit and another set of bulbs. So do i need a kit for my lows and a kit for my fogs, for 2 kits total? Or can i run my fogs off the same kit used for the lows?

 

2 total kits.. one for lows one for fogs, and yes the 880s for fogs fit them all.

 

Alright man thanks for the quick reply. Just got the lows and fogs ordered from DDMTuning hopefully be here in about a week or so.

 

Cool what color did you get? I got 6000k that have a little blue.. kind of wishing I would have went with the bright white 5000k.

 

Thats what im getting in both lows and fogs. 5000k. Hope there still as bright as 6000k. I really dont know much about HIDs.

 

I think the closest to bright white is going to be the brightest so 5000k should be a little brighter than 6000k but I'm not for sure on that.

 

Yea i figured 6000 would be brighter but it makes sense because 5s dont have a tint. Either way itll be better than what ive got.

 

what are you saying plug and play????just put bulb in or still need the balances right to egnite the bulb .......i was going to buy 10000 from somebody on here but i think that im asking for trouble with police here in maryland are really strict on stuff like that...are 10000 legal here in maryland

 

The ballast plug right into the stock wiring harness without the need for an additional wire harness. 10000 are gonna produce a bluish tint to the light. I would try to search google for the laws in your state. I havent had a problem at all in my area but there are a lot of people who have them. here are some pics to show you the different colors/tempurtures.
