I use Street Glows Headlight, Bright, and fog light bulbs. I love them, they are bright and work great.
Th fog light bulbs are simple to replace, you just twist and the socket will put out.

I have a set of the stock light housings/brackets left over from when I installed my PIAA's if you're interested.

The stock lights are next to useless as far as brightness goes. It's not just a simple matter of sticking a higher wattage bulb in the stockers though - they come with 27W bulbs - anything much bigger will melt the plastic housings of the stock lamps. That's the reason everyone goes with aftermarket lamps.

You could go with 4" CyberWhites or the Hella Angle Eyes lights (both available at PepBoys and have 55W bulbs) for less than the PIAA's. They run $49.99-$69.99 at the store but have seen the Hella lamps for less online...

PepBoys does also have 4.5" CyberWhites with a LED ring for $60. They'll work for a Formula (possibly a T/A), but I doubt that they'll fit in a camaro.

I'll post pics when I finish my install.
(hopefully today or tomorrow)

BTW, don't bother putting any higher wattage bulbs into the stock plastic housings. Even the 37watt bulbs (893/894) that people say are safe will melt the housings....ask me how I know.

I've been looking into replacing the fogs on my Camaro as well. Mine are all scratched & banged up seeing as how its my daily driver. Here are a few I was looking at trying (eBay links):

PIAA 002-X



Hella Optilux 1102



Of course the PIAA 1100X would be sweet also.
