Hi there fellas,
anyone know the proper wattage for replacement fog light bulbs for a
99 Seville STS? I want to get the factory required wattage bulb. Thanks

A number 885 was installed as the OEM bulb; 50 W.

The parts book calls for an 880 bulb. If they're still installed, pull the bulb and see what's marked on it.

Thanks fellas.

How do you take off the fog light to change the bulbs??? i have a 99 STS and only one of my fog lights works. I need to fix it ASAP.

Fog light bulbs for ’99 STS are 880 (50W). You need to unclip a portion of the splash shield in order to access the back of the fog light assembly from underneath.

How hard is it to take off the splash panel? Would I need to jack the car up, or could I just slide underneath it?

You might need to jack the car up at the front for room to move about, I had to do this early summer. It's easy to do, just remove the plastic push clips (the center of the clip pulls out). I had to remove over half the clips to allow room to get my hand in to remove / replace the bulb.

The bulb cost is about $9 - $15 bucks depending on brand and it's an 880 rated at 50W.
