It's an H3 bulb. I assume your 2003 SSE is actually either an SLE or SSEi. Either way, you gotta lay down under and there are two 10 mm nuts holding each fog light to the bumper. Then you gotta disconnect the harness powering it. Before getting a new bulb, I'd suggest checking if there is merely a loose connection.

How would i determine if its an SLE or SSEi?

Year and Trim: 2004 GXP - plus a handful of other Bonnevilles
SLE = non-supercharged = 8th digit of VIN is a K
SSEi = supercharged = 8th digit of VIN is a 1

You do not need to remove the 10mm nuts to just replace the bulb. Simply release the bulb by rotating counter-clockwise and pull out, then disconnect the wiring harness.

H3? These are the same lamp/bulb as 92-99, which used 880 bulbs. I upgrade to 893 in the stock fog lamp housing on my personal cars.

2004-2005 GXP and 2005 SLE are the ones that run H3. As said, 880 is what the SLE/SSEi run from the factory.

Are your fog lights in the center of the bumper or the outer edges? That describes the difference between the fogs on a SE and an SLE/SSEi.

Yeah, that's true to my knowledge Seth. I'm just making it clear to the OP as to what model car he has, just for clarification. :)

The fog lamps are right on the outside of the vehicle. Towards the side all the way

Your car has the V8 too? Just want to be clear whether you may have the ONE and ONLY SE with V8 and GXP bumpers/foglights.

Sorry for the misinformation on the bulb. Either way. You have an SE. I'd recommend changing your Year and Trim to SE. 880's are the ones you need.

That is the correct bulb, I recommend changing halogen bulbs in pairs.
