Default Fog Lights

Can anyone recommend a replacement for the stock fog lights... Im hoping to do away w/ the yellow factory bulbs with out spending a small fortune. Thanks

Yellow stock fog lights?
The stock fog light bulbs are clear GE 899 37 W
They can be replaced with clear Sylvania 885 50 W bulbs for more light.

I heard there are HID foglights. I might be interested in those myself.

885's are a good start. They offer a moderate increase in light and color without much cost at all. Everything else is $$$$$$$$

PIAA1100x! These lights are bright enough to drive with your main headlights down, definetely much brighter than the stock low beams. Also make great flash to pass lights, people do notice these lights, unlike the stock fogs. For people with Z06's they are great bolt-in. The factory wiring and relay and fuses are already there from the factory. The kit plus a factory fog light switch are all you need. If you buy from litewarehouse.com you can also get mounts for the lights with free shipping.

How hard is it to install these? I have a C5 Vert with factory fog lamps.

Thanks,
