Default Replacement fog light questions

Hey does anyone know what would be a good replacement fog light for a Firebird/Formula bumper? I tried searching but didn't come up with anything. Can I just pretty much buy any PIAA fog light about the same diameter as the stocks ones and just figure out a way to mount them? Any other brands you guys may recommend?

Thanks

Here is one idea:

Here are some threads:

I think the T/A and Formula fog light housings are both 4 1/2in.
I think the ones I used are 4 3/8in.

I'd like to replace mine, but I've heard aftermarket lights don't last very long at all.

One reason to use LED's in the housings. They will last a long, long time and draw less power.

It depends on the bulb.
Sylvania SilverStar bulbs tend to have a short life.

There aren't any LEDs comercially available on the market yet that are bright enough to replace halogen foglights. Maybe in a couple years though.
