'07 Type-S Foglight Upgrades?

My type-s fogs are starting to peel the reflective material away inside the housing. Is there an aftermarket lense kit available? What about a set up the would yeild more light?

Damn....why didn't I know about this stuff when I had to replace my fog light? I ordered a used fog light off ebay to replace the one I burned a lens on. Still got the bad one sitting around though....

Are you using 35w or 55w ballasts? For your fogs

So that issue was my own fault. When testing if the bulbs were working during the install, I left them on with the plastic cover still on. Apparently I did that for a little too long because I melted the plastic cover a little bit. I tried to get any plastic bit off, but I think a little could have been on the bulb and burned my lens when it burned off. It was a 35 watt kit tho.
