Another option to have brighter fog lights is to just use the factory high beam bulb (9005 I believe) in the fog light housing.

Edit: I'm not sure if the 9005 bulb will fit in an Escalade housing or not.

Edit2: Checked this site; http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/ and it looks like the Escalade takes an 880 fog bulb. Not sure if you can make a 9005 style bulb fit it or not.

Only the 03+ Silverado's have been able to use the 9005 bulb, as far as I know anyways.

So if that was the case then I could just order the head light kit?
also.. those of you that have bought the kits off of Ebay.. $20 seems kinda cheap to me...
I paid $160 for the LOw beams on my Z28, and 160 for the Fog lights also....

anybody buy these 20 kits and if so.. how do they hold up?

There is a difference between the 03+ Silverado fog light housing and the Escalades because the Silverado uses 9005 bulb and the Escalade uses the 880 bulb.
I've never compared the two side by side so it's entirely possible to fit a 9005 bulb into the 880 housing.

anybody know how they hold up.. (the ebay ones) how long they last...

You always hear you get what you pay for.

I think I can get a reputable set for $160 bucks..
( same place I got the ones for the Z28 )
