I've read through here a bit, but still dont know what to do. I'll probably endup using these some around town, so I dont wanna blind people. When I'm in NC for a few months of the year its in BFE with no lighting whatsoever. While I'd like to be able to see further ahead, I think seein the deer on the side of the road is more important. I plan to get some Silverstars for the headlights.

As for the fogs, whats a good fog light that will fit in the stock location for around $100? I know people listed the Pilot PL-1055C but I cant find them here in West Palm Beach. Thanks guys

Ok, after calling around, it sounds like Pilot changed some of their model numbers for the new year, which explains why I cant find those lights.

If you have the round openings in the bumper, the KC Hilites 50 series fit nicely. That's what I have in my truck. They run under $100 for a set. Check out KC Series 50 lights (http://kchilites.com/matrix_50_series.html)

Round or rectangle? How big is the round opening, if it's round..

98 is the rectangle opening. The measurements on the Pilot light that are supposed to fit well is 5" long, 1 7/8" tall and 2 1/4" deep

I think these Catz MSX are one of the best fog lights out there. http://excellentperformance.com/html/catz/msx.htmlhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
Buy them here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2400324401&category=33709
I personaly am not a fan of the bluish light but a lot of people seem to be. They make them in clear also. PIAA 1500 can sometimes be found on ebay but they are usually the yellow kind. I think the Catz put out a better beam thean the PIAA, having tried both.
By the way...my wife loves the thunderform. Thanks again.
