Those with aftermarket T/A fog lights come in. Mine are cracked and one is burned out and the bulb is melted to the housing. I looked up some OEM peices but there to expensive I think. My question is if you have A/M fog lights, where did you get them and do you have to remove the T/A bumper cover to replace them? 
Also thinking about changing out the driving light housings at the same time because there also old looking and cracked. where can I find these for a good price. I found some new ones on E-bay for 18 +S&H. Does that sound like a good deal?

$18 sounds like a good price on the driving lights. I don't know what the dealer quoted you on the fogs, but you may want to check out the site below:

I think the dealer may have quoted me a price or the LT1 fogs because he told me 140
EDIT: N/m there the same price there.
Anyone grap any for around 50 bucks?

You can't use higher wattage bulbs in the stock plastic housings for exactly the reason you saw - they melt the plastic 
If you're gonna go to the trouble of installing new housings - might as well go with aftermarket lights such as PIAA. They are all metal, have at least 55W bulbs, are the same size as originals, and are fairly easy to install with slight mods.
BTW, you don't have to remove the bumper cover to replace either stockers or install A/M.
Do a search on 'driving lights' or 'PIAA' and you should bring up info on part number needed and install instructions. You're gonna pay more than $50 for them - but they will be MUCH brighter and more reliable. I have PIAA's and get people flashing me hi beams all the time thinking I have on my hi's when the DL are on - and this is with the 55W bulbs that come with the lights! - I just ignore them

I have the blazertech (who BTW makes the stock fogs), got them from the local AutoZone, $49.99
Install was easy (get a 10mm gear wrench), I just followed this guide
http://www.metalreviewcentre.com/Foglight.htm
Now I actually have some light coming out of the fogs that's actually useful

I did blazertech mod too before I switched to a front mount intercooler. It was easy and they were way nicer and better light than the OEM fogs. I reccomend this mod.

Mine are blue tinted and are glass not cheap plastic like the OEMs, I will sell mine with the brackes ready to bolt up, you would just need to splice two wires positive and negitive and then you can even use the factory switch just like stock. PM me if anyone is interested. I dont use them anymore I have a FMIC up front.
