How much do you want to spend, what color are you looking for?

Do you want driving lights to light up the road, or do you want real fog lights to see in inclement weather?

Anything made by Hella. PIAA is decent. Although I have seen some of their **** just die.

You could always do like I did and cut out your front bumper for 6" Hella 500's.

I did that on my old beater CRX and had them hooked to the high beams. Man that was good stuff.

Get the OEM fogs with the yellow glass. Halo rings=ricer.

if its for looks, any ebay oem styled ones would give you the "cleanest" look.

if you want to add fucntion to them...

run hotter bulbs, but before you do that, upgrade the wiring to 16-12awg that way you reduce the risk of melted harnesses.

the eBay "oem" foglights work just great.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

^^^ Those will work just fine and you'll have more light output and you will be able to see better during inclimate weather.

DO NOT run "hotter" bulbs in them because all that it'll do is make more heat and you'll have to upgrade the wires so that nothing is burnt. If you really want, you can get those fog lights and then get either 3000K or 4300K H3 HID kit you'll be all set for brightness and also usability.
