Additional Notes

The Ford Contour front fog light system uses two ANSI-standard bulb types across its production years: the 893 and the 899, both rated at 12 volts and 37.5 watts.
The 893 bulb is a single-filament halogen type fitted with a PGJ19 base, while the 899 is also a single-filament halogen but uses a PGJ13 base instead.
Although the 893 and 899 share identical voltage and wattage ratings, their base types differ, meaning the two bulbs are not interchangeable despite their otherwise matching electrical specifications.
The Ford Contour uses the 893 bulb for front fog lights across the 1995-1999 model years, making it the predominant fitment across the vehicle's production run.
The 2000 model year Ford Contour lists both the 893 and the 899 as front fog light fitments, indicating that two different base configurations were used within that single model year.
Both the 893 and 899 bulbs carry ANSI standardization recognized in the United States and Canada, meaning their specifications conform to a defined industry standard rather than being proprietary to a single manufacturer.
The PGJ19 base on the 893 and the PGJ13 base on the 899 refer to the physical socket interface, with the prefix "PGJ" denoting a prefocus glass base design commonly associated with fog and driving light applications.
