2nd Gen Fog lamps, got a question.

So when I bought my explorer I went to go put in some lights for the fog lamps, and well the lamps where filled with water, and the reflected coating was all gone. needles to say I just took one off, and the other one broke off. Now I have some extra money and I am looking for replacements. no is there an aftermarket option where I can retrofit them in the original location? Or should I go with stock replacements from Rock Auto (Left - http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=363434), and the (Right - http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1376999). For $35 a piece they seem a bit pricey, but it's better then two huge holes in the front of my truck. I would just like some options before I purchase.

Hella makes a rectangle light that may fit there... Probably could drill a hole and bend that bracket to fit. They are 55w lights so you may have to put a relay in to power those from the battery but still use the factory switch. They are prob around the same price. Cant guarantee they fit it was just an idea I had a while back before I ditched my bumper valance and lights all together.

I just ordered some Hella off road lights for my brush guard, I'll have to check out their fog lights. Thanks for the suggestion.

Man those Hellas are huge, by comparison to stock. and more expensive then stock replacements. I don't mind a little fabricating for them to fit, but my brackets are so rusty and flimsy. I would feel comfortable mounting those lights to them. I am still searching but everything seems to be big $$$$, for what ever reason, so I may just go with the ones from RockAuto.
