The bulb number that comes stock with the fogs is a 9145. However, I think you'll have a little trouble finding a 9145 in a higher wattage...
Here's what a large majority (including myself) have done to get around this...
I installed 9005 bulbs in my fogs. I went with a super white Xenon bulb that is MUCH brighter than stock.
You have to modify the bulb housing slightly by snipping off one of the tiny flanges that are on the bulb. If you hold your 9145 side by side with the 9005 bulb, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
Good luck and feel free to email me with questions.

I have the 9005 silverstars in my truck (in the fog lights) and love them. Almost too bright but there closer to the ground so it really dosen't bother other drivers too much. They do throw a really beam in front of you for fogs.
I took a pair of needle nose plyers and trimed down the flang that keeps it from going in. Once you trim that down a bit (very easy to figure out when compared with the original bulb) then it fits in nice and snug. They are higher wattage but I have been using them for over 6 months now and have not had any problems what so ever. The wiring is heavy enough for them and the extra heat dosen't seem to have any effect. You will notice a lot more light though and the only problem you may have is that your headlights and fogs will be a diffrent color temp unless you replace your headlights too (like me). There $25 anywhere you go. Easier to find online than in a store.
