Melting Slicks
I replaced the 35w bulbs with 885 50w bulbs and can almost drive without headlights
Put 885s in both fog lights and reaimed them to about low beam level.
That was 5 or 6 years ago. Very much difference from the 35w 889 or 892 bulbs and does not melt anything. Try it. You might like it.

I've got the 55w bulbs in mine and yes a vast difference than stock but I'm looking for a replacement bulb that is led for the looks. I've all ready have hid projector headlights and it kinda looks funny with these old halogen bulbs in the fog lights

I had the so-called super bright LED fog lamps in mine and they are nowhere near as bright as stock. Definitely not worth it.
I now bought a set of Sylvania Silver Star 893's which are a vast improvement over the stock bulbs. These have the same wattage rating as the stock 899 but give off a whiter tint.

I totally understand what you are trying to accomplish. I installed the 880 led's from DDM Tuning ($7). As expected, they don't put out much light. BUT, they are a perfect color match for my 6000k ACA hids.

A friend of mine put in some good quality LED fog lights, and honestly they look more like running lights then fog lights. The pure color is nice looking, but not much usable light.
The HID kit from JW Motoring is $72. A pair of good CREE LED bulbs is about $30. I'd much rather spend the extra $40 and get actual useful fog lights.
I've been planning on getting 35 or 55W HIDs in the fogs for awhile. I think it would be nice to turn them on at dusk before it get really dark so I don't have to pop the headlights up.
