Dunno if the '85 is the same as the '88 (rectangular lights), but I just
swapped out my 9004 bulbs for two new Sylvania ClearBlue bulbs and have
noticed some improvement in night visibility. Not to mention the
additional 'blue-eyed' effect!!

BTW, I just picked up a fog light switch from a junkyard. Came out of
a Quantum, I think. Anyways - the thing just snapped right into the
blank panel slot. Cool! Does anyone know if the rear lights on the US
vehicles can be modded to support the Euro-style fog lights?
