Foglights.

Most use Proburners, Hella Optilux 2500, or PIAA 510's.

I've used both the Hella and PIAA setups, and they kept cracking. I got sick of dealing with it and wasting money, and went back to stock.
 
Yeah, I wish i didn't blow money on glass fog lights that eventually crack. With the money spent, i could have gotten an 8xx series hid system that would probably be awesome.
 
WTF do you guys do for a clear replacement? The stockers suck the butt.:nonono:

You mean they're hazy like the headlights? A good polish would go a long way.

Yeah I wouldnt use a glass lens that low to the ground either.
 
I pulled the stock fogs out of the fog brackets and installed the ProBurners into the stock bracket using some double-sided foam tape and a single machine screw/nut, and they've held up great for over a year and a half now.

Because they're driving lights (not fog lights), be sure you aim them down, otherwise they'll shine right into oncoming traffic. Also, Wal-Mart sells replacement bulbs for about $5/each. They're in the automotive bulb section, they're pretty unique because they have a lead already connected to the base of the bulb.

Did you take the cover off for this or just jack the car up?
 
Here is a pic of those 20 dollar Pro Burners from Walmart installed. This was taken last year and has been posted before..

From my experience...they're not worth $20. You're much better off cleaning up the stock fogs because the glass will crack on these, and it's not really worth the hassle of having to take it apart a few times after getting the warranty honored after every cracked lens.

How is the warranty even honored? After I bought them, I couldn't find anything in the box or on their website about their warranty.
 
I believe it's written ON the box about the warranty. It's been well over a year since I bothered with them.
 
I'm betting its a pain just like the wiper blade warranty where the $7 you spend sending the wiper back could have just gone towards another $10 blade.
