BAM! There ya go! Here are three options for aftermarket replacements...if this is too extreme of a replacement let me know... I will try to find something less expensive.

I got these off of ebay. They are very white and match my Silverstars perfectly.

Clicky

The 885's (I think that's the number) are 50w verses 37w for stock. They will fit right into the stock unit.
But I read that there is a chance that the lens might start to bubble because of the extra heat that is generated.
I'll be trying this upgrade as soon as my other bulbs burn out.

You can find the 885 at any auto parts store. Sylvannia makes them - at least that what I found at my local Advance Auto.

I've been running with the 50 watt fog light bulbs for over 3 years - my lenses are fine.

What type of bulb are you using? I had bought some from Wally-World (Wal-Mart) and I could swear that they started to bubble my lense. Does it make a difference who made them? The ones I had were GE.
