the foglights?! get from carson, for around 160 bucks you get a PAIR.....

and it's as easy as you can imagine. loosen the two philip screws right beside the foglight and it will come out

read again dude...... that was a GB on housing AND bulbs..........

160 for bulbs? i would go shoot myself

and excluesive also posted himself. either way, the stuff are there and i am very sure i am right (i almost got the fogs myself). if they are really that expensive now, there they are. just personally i doubt
