One of my driving lights is dimmer than the other, so I want to replace them. I was looking on ebay for a better than stock bulb and found ones that are 894's, 37.5watts, and 4200K.

I haven't changed my headlight bulbs, so I assume they are standard halogens. I don't know if this will look dumb.

Think its worth the cash or are they a sh!t bulb?

2fst4u is an unknown quantity at this point
if you trust the wattage rating, go for it. but, i don't think that the numbers for power are correct. the "super white" bulbs that i always see draw too much power for our harnesses and burn them up. it's a gamble with products made overseas, they don't have the same standards as american products.

What are 894's? Fogs? I know they aren't anything in the actual headlight assembly.

Don't buy these. Buy Silverstars ($20) or HIDs ($230). I wouldn't trust anything else.

That is a good point, they are made overseas by Street Glow, but the company is headquartered in the US....

I'd much rather be safe than sorry though.

894's are fog lights, If you want headlights dont get the higher wattage bulbs as they will eventually fry your harness. If you want the higher watt bulbs upgrade your harnesses. I would recomed the Silverstars as well. I have them for Low/High and Fog lights.

894 is the right bulb & that wattage is correct 37.5 for stock you can go as high as 55 watts with the stock harness I believe with out any problems

AlbinoMonkeyRat is on a distinguished road
all the numbers fit fine, but it's all a matter of trust after that. Good luck.
