Pep boys fogs
Thinking of buying some Pep boy fog lights, my headlights suck I am trying to get some more light on the cheap and was wondering if pep boys lights are decent? I can grab a nice pair for like $20.

Just because they work at Pep Boys doesn't mean you can call them "fags". That really isn..oh.

Seriously though, get a quality HID setup. $20 fogs will probably be nothing but trouble. I've bought a $60 set of hella fogs that have me wishing that I stayed with OEM.

+1, that will be the route I go in the stock housing soon. I had aftermarket HID fogs on my cadillac catera fitted into the lower grill, you could stand in front of them and feel heat from the light, they were nice, a bit more monay, but they were damn great

Waiting for a decent night to take the "action" pics, tonight it's raining so they wouldn't show off the light too much as the ground is wet. I will say however they are brighter than my headlights.

These lights just make my car look real sporty and sexy when it's dark out, I freaking love it. Not to mention they light up the road like a mofo.

You gotta go for driving lights, and put them in as fog lights.
My guess is those lights may fill with water after a few months, and after a few years, the case will probably crack from stones. Just my .02 by my experience with pep boys fogs. MY buddy had a set of PIAA and when I used to work at a car wash, he would have them on going through the wash during the middle of the day, and standing at the end of the tunnel looking down the tunnel at the front of his car, the fogs were BLINDING bright. They are like $150 bucks though.

They are driving lights used as fog lights. They've been good for two months now.
