Aftermarket Fog Lamps?

Hi,
I was googling around and wondered if anyone knows of a good set of fog lights that can replace the factory SS/SC ones. I dont really like the glass ball ones and they do not give out much light. I would like to see if anything exists to give more distance light.

Thanks!

get brighter bulbs. Out "glass" foglights are actually pretty damn decent.

i dont know if there are any aftermarket ones, you can always get different bulbs themselves, but fog lights aren't made to give lots of distance, quite the opposite

they're fog lights...they're not supposed to put out a lot of light...just the road surface immediately in front of the car.

they are actualy halogen projectors. you can put some brighter bulbs in them, but stay with the correct wattage. going up can cause wiring problems.

i myself am putting HIDs in them.

Thanks Guys,
I know all about they are "Fog Lights" but I have had some cars that a good set of fog lamps actually give off great projection (still less than low beam mind you but still better than these). I thought I would just check. I did put some Xenon lamps in them which are really nice at 8000k.

I just installed an HID kit for my headlamps but because I drive a dangerous highway at night a lot through the rockies I dont like the non hi-beam version. I think I will puchase H11 bulbs and use this single beam kit for my fogs and get a new hi/low HID kit for the headlamps.

Thanks for your input. I am sure this HID kit will add some light to things for the fogs
