FYI: fog lites suppose to be YELLOW by default. I prefer "yellow" fog lites as well.
Cheapies ... is a different story.

Which fog or driving lites to choose from - there were discussions earlier (search posts)

Well are the the factory driving lights with yellow bulbs in them. Look at the pics in my sig (click links below main picture) if you want to know how factory SE driving lights look.

If they are factory with yellow bulbs then just change the bulbs and send me the yellow bulbs .

If they are in fact aftermarket yellow fogs and you want to get rid of them then I would suggest getting the GXE fog lights. THey are smaller than the SE fogs and look better if you dont have a lip of some sort (stillen like I have or WW etc). They are also cheaper at around $100 for the fogs, wiring and buttons.


You can always look around and see if you can find some nice aftermarket fogs as well but most of the ones I see always have that blue tint to them and that is just ugly to me.

You can't figure this one out on your own?

That's like saying "where do I buy oil filters from?"

Since you said you have "yellow cheapies" I would assume someone replaced the stock fogs with something else. I suggest you save your money and buy some Piaa, Hella, or maybe even some Pilot projector type fogs.

And you don't really have to spend a lot to get some decent lights. I spent $20 on a pair of white rectangle foglights that are slimmer than OEM ones and tuck up under the bumper a little more. I know it'd be easier if I just had some pics up, but the point is that you can get inexpensive foglights without getting cheap ones. Another advantage-I broke a lens and only paid $20 for a new set. They are pretty bright, too.

That's why I threw Pilot in there. Their lights are pretty good, IMO and cost about 1/3 what Piaas do. I was looking at a set of lights like these: Pilot PL-800b

But, I have some other stuff going on right now and all of my little projects are kind of on hold.

I replaced my cloudy factory fog lights on my 89 SE with Optilux 1200 made by Hella. I took the old light apart and transferred the wiring and the socket to the new one. I drilled out the rivets on the original brackets and used them with the new brackets. The end result is great.

Depend why you want lights: for somebody to say aaahh or for foggy joyrney to keep going. To keep going, buy Hella plus some real thick wire. And rewire the headlights:
