panameras is correct. But be warned that the halogen fogs are 55w, I believe. Those lights were designed to use at night or on a foggy day. Having them on in scorching heat and sun will likely cook your light covers. So, LEDs should be substituted.

That can look good....very "in" today, but I have not had great success finding the right bulb. What I have looks bluish and is minimal light compared to the original halogens. panameras also suggested some replacement LED bulbs, but at $47 per pair I need to be sure that they are pure white and not bluish before buying. So, I'll wait for more comments.

Overall, the whole project is a great idea. The car needs these. These cars are just to easy to miss in traffic and driving lights are helpful.
