I'm runing Sylvania CoolBlue's. They had the best looking light I've seen. I have some aftermarket yellow bulbs in my driving lights. If I could remember where I got 'em I would pass it along.

Wal Mart ones, $17.99 a pair, they're exact O.E. Replacements, it says Blazer on the packaging. Really bright too.

if you want REALLY bright fogs, pull the 55 watt bulbs out of the "blazers" and replace them with 100 watt off-road bulbs. that will really wake up people.

I've got the Blazers on my car too. If your stock mounting brackets are still in good shape, you can swap the glass and reflective element from the Blazers into the stock lights and it will all fit perfectly. In my case one of the brackets was trashed so I had to fab my own, but in either case, the blazers look 99% identical to the stockers. They look close enough that I'd be willing to bet that you could fool just about any show judge. They are the exact same shape. The only difference may be the actual pattern in the glass.

I have some Navigator Cyber White foglights I got at Autozone. Today I am going to put some Cool Blues in the headlights.

Yep, same here. $18.99 Blazers at Advanced Auto Parts. I think Blazer made them for GM, b/c they're identical. The ones on the 4th gen camaros actually say "blazer" on them! wow. alot cheaper than going to GM, huh?

When i got my TA the fog lights were trashed (cracked and broken glass with burnt out bulbs). I also went and got the Blazer kits, it was awesome how they fit perfectly in the stock mount

Apparently they are pretty new but I have the Sylvania silverstars, pure white, brighter than the cool blues.. Only light I will ever put on my cars from now on. They are like 28 bucks from Autozone.

Oops, didn't notice this post was a little old. Still highly recommend silverstars however, they blew my old stockers away.

i saw there you get way more lighting distance with the driving lights... a lot nicer for going FAST

i was just wondering if the amber looks cool though...

I was blind as hell at night too, just didn't feel safe, the sylvania silverstars cured that problem extremely well. A little expensive but worth the price and peice of mind IMO.

And NO I don't work for Sylvania for any future wisenheimers out there
