Default I need brighter bulbs!!!

Hey guys, I just cleaned off my fog and drl lights and re-vht'd them with only 2 light coats to solve the "pink" lights problem. The drls are perfect and the fogs are too, except they are a little duller now. Fogs are supposed to be bright. Anyone know of some more powerful bulbs I could get to brighten them back up a bit. Takin off the vht is out of the question because it goes perfectly with my entire BG chameleon and black scheme. By the way its a 98 firebird. Thanks for ne help guys.

If I remember correctly:
880/881 = 27watts
893/894 = 35watts

The number difference between the ones with the same wattage refers to the plug end (angle vs. straight).

actually should i get the 893 or 894. the way u wrote it above makes it seem like the 893 goes with the 880, which my car has now. Damnit im so confused lol. Sorry for so many posts for just a couple of bulbs.. Just dont feel like getting them and having to shatter them against the driveway cuz they dont fit lol
