My fog lights and headlights are about as bright as a cigar cherry, any favorites from the long time VXers? Also so I need to remove the front bumper to change these things?

The small fog lights can be removed with the bumper untouched,if you can get your arm thru the engine bay all the way.
A lot of people run Malibu 18 watt bulbs from Home Depot, Lowes or somewhere similar in their fog lights. They are brighter than stock and cheap and easy to get. Some people have used LED setups, but rumor has it they aren't that bright. I also know if you do a search you'll find something on some direct fit fog lights that actually use a glass lens intead of our current plastic setup. That setup also uses more powerful bulbs. For headlights you are looking at sylvania silverstars the bulb type is H4. The better option is dual beam HID lights also H4 bulb type which you can snag off of ebay for a good price.
im running silverstar headlights and piaa W2 bulbs in the fog light spot.. they match a nice white color and are pretty bright.. the silverstars do burn out kind of quickly though (about a year)
Tone sells HID kits from his site...:thumbup:Quote:

$175 for lifetime warranty, 55w ballast, H4 hi/low beam, and shipping...
maybe a great thread finder like dub or someone could find the write up on how to build brackets for the fogs...
i want to say that maybe tone did the write up???
if it helps, it involves two joist hangers (i think thats what they are called) stacked on top of each other..
The writeup you are looking for was done by Moncha. It's in the how to section under lighting.
