Default Fog Lights? Yellow- yes or no?

I had a bulb go in my '99 z28 and since I've been wanting to get different fog lights, here's my chance. I'm still trying to search the site a bit, but have some quick questions. Right now it seems like the Hella Micro DE's are a good fit, any other opinions on them?:

and I found some pics in the thread and they look pretty bright. I was also considering Silverstar's but really don't know anything about them. Do they fit in easy, housing issues, how much are they? Which bulb do I need?

Also I was thinking about a yellow bulb for the fog lights, yay or nay on that? My car is pewter with clear side markers (but yellow bulbs) if it helps any, but really I need to know about the fight light itself. Thanks for any info in advance.

Silverstars are OK. They aren't the EXACT size, but they work just the same. The problem with Silverstars is their life -- they tend to burn out pretty quickly.

I'd advise against yellow fogs too....leave those to the ricers.

I like those Hella projectors.

^ That's the post I had found too, I like the whole set up he has going on.

I think I'm gonna go with the Hella's, it says it's $123 for the kit...that definitely means it has both right? For $123 it better.

As far as I can tell, the kit includes both lights. Post some pics of your results!
