Found a pretty good match for fog bulbs.

I just blew my piaa's and bought these really cheap bulbs from chinatown. My cousin has them in her Solara and they haven't blown yet (5 mos) they were 18.00 a pair! I think they are called Max motoersports. Here is a pic.

Slyvania Silverstars are good too. I'm sure they will last longer than PIAA.

You can get them online from eBay or Sylvania's website.

agean,
Thanks for the info. I stopped at pep boys tonight and picked up the 9006ST's.(6 bulbs left) I did the install in the BK parking lot (next door). After seeing the ST's in the fogs, I ran back into Pep boys for the 9005ST's for the high beams. They were sold out... oh well next time....
24.99 each well worth it
Coupe
PS Who else was in there buying the 9006's around 8pm? I saw 2 tl type S's in the pep boys parking lot?

Not me! But I am surprised that they have the SilverStars there. Last time I checked they only had the Cool blues.

around how much would it be for the fogs and highs? also would it be possible to switch the amber turn signals in the headlights with any of those bulbs?

Turn signals and foglights are two different thing and are not switchable. Why would you want your turn signals to be as bright as the foglights anyway? You can get a ticket for something like that.
