cobra,

I replaced my facoty bulbs with 85 watt PIAA's. I'll post the link to my source tomorrow as it is on my work machine.

To install/change bulbs:

Use a standard screwdriver as a lever to lift the foglights retailing clip on the top of the lense. The whole fog light assembly will then come out.

Simply disconnect the two wires and move the the workbench.

Lift off the rubber backing and replace bulb in the reverse order you removed the factory bulb. Be sure NOT to touch the bulb with your fingers. The oil from you hands will create hot spots and shorten the life of the bulb. I handle the bulbs with a fresh paper towel.

Test, smile, and grab a cold one.

Bob, I think he meant the WHOLE fog light, not just the bulbs.

Cobra, here's the topic I started on the research I was looking into:

I was going to guinea pig the PIAA's, but I think I may go for the RayBrig HID's first now. (I really want HID fogs)

I'm way out on a limb here but I think you're looking for the H-3 PIAA bulbs.

If you're looking for an entire drop-in then ignore my post.

It's true, you should not handle the bulbs because of the oils on your fingers, but I found a trick that works. Go ahead and handle the bulb, installing it properly. Then take a lint free paper towel or rag, moistened with a little Lacquer Thinner, and clean the bulb. (Lacquer Thinner leaves no oily residue, and dries almost immediately)
