Are you looking to replace the factory lights completely, or just the bulbs?

If you are looking for a new lamp, do you want something that you can drive with on all the time, or something to aide your high beams only. Specifically do you want a fog paatern or a driving pattern?

there are so many quality lights out there, without more specifics what you want you will get a range of answers that might not be what your looking for.

I want to keep the Factory Lamps there, just want to replace the actual bulbs for brighter. I want them to function as they do stock.

Thanks, didnt really think about how broad of a question that was.

I also want to know. I am thinking it would be easy to take out the existing foglights, (the whole light, not judt the bulb) and replace it with any foglights you can buy at an local autoparts store. Just pull the pins on the foglights, take then out, either cut the wires or pull them out of the plug. Then plug the new lights back in or connect to the old wires. This way, I should have new better foglights that work with the factory swich and wiring. If this is not going to work, tell me soon. I am planning on doing it this weekend.

Sorry, I didn't reply sooner. I was out of town.

You can just replace the bulbs, but your not going to get a whole lot out of them. The reflector on those are crap to say the least. People doing so have reported melting the housings on the fog lights. I am not sure how high they went in wattage though.

As far as just replacing the entire assembly, you would be better off if you were actually trying to put usable light on the road instead of just making them look brighter.

There are many lights that will fit, in all price ranges. If price is a concern, I would go with Hella at least. They have some great new lights now that are very reasonable in price when compared to the cost of Piaa's or Catz. Any of those three brands will serve as a good over all replacement.

As far as just changing the bulbs, you can reference them at www.nextcollection.com to see what higher wattages are available. Here is the link for Brent's guide on how to change the bulbs:
