when one of mine went out i went to AZ and got a pair of bulbs that i don't remember what they were. i know they weren't silverstars but they were stock wattage and seemed brighter than stock. if you get a higher wattage bulb you will have wiring and housing issues from what i've heard. the only way to upgrade the lights is with new housings and probably wiring too.

I got some brighter bulbs at a discount parts store too. They gave off a whiter light like my Silverstar headlights (I converted my headlights by modifying a Eurolights kit). I don't remember the brand-name, but they didn't last much longer than the standard issue bulbs. Not that the standard issue bulbs ever lasted very long on my car to begin with.....

1995blacktatop, mine were still working when I yanked them off my 2000 T/A this weekend - same usage pattern as what you described. I decided I had it with the 27w dim fogs and am installing 55w Hella 90mm fog lamps. A friend helpd me fabricate new mountings reusing the original brackets and now all I need is a few hours to remove the bumper, install the lights and wiring harness, and I will be good to go. I will post project pics on a new thread once I am done.

BTW, I will be putting my OEM fog lights up for sale as soon as I have time. No brackets included, just the light fixture and bulbs, all in good working order. If you want a simple replacement unit, PM me.
