Default Which bulbs for yellow fogs??

Which bulbs do all you guys use to get the nicest yellow output for the fogs? I'm not looking to change to HID's, just switching out the bulbs.

I bought a Yellow set on ebay with the same OEM 55 wattage and was not happy with the weak light output. Other CL Members like the Nokya like llamaboiz, but I would consider an HID kit. I have purchased the Yellow fog vinyl on top of the yellow bulbs. In a month or two, I am doing a Yellow HID kit in order to have clear lenses again with a fancier/brighter look. It is something to consider. Never install a higher wattage bulb, it will melt the harness over time and some members have experienced this unfortunately.

I installed 9006 Luminics about a week ago replacing the yellow vinyl and i like it. It came with a 1 year warranty which is a good deal.

if it is none HID i would go Luminics or Nokya...
Nokya are supposedly brighter and better
but i heard they turn to burn wiring harnesses if you don't have an aftermarket harness because of the higher output.

had luminics and no problems but go HID if you can!

Thanks for all the replies. I'm thinking about going with Nokya's but I don't want my harness burning Did anyone's burn? Also, what's the going price for a set of them? Thanks.
