Default Change fog light

I read the DIY already and I am ready to do it. I want to change it to super blue or super white bulbs. (I think HID is too expensive) Which type of bulb does it uses? I remember I saw it before but forgot, I believe its the same one under the paddel light (I changed to blue). Also I am gonna get the ICE vinyl for fog light from Rvinyl.com

Another question is, I know that bulbs running pretty hot, would that be a problem with the vinyl?

By the way, did anyone get the fog light to work without the low beam? I remember back in the days people used to dicuss about that.

Thanks

someone got it to work but they never posted the info on how to do it. probably just need the wiring schematics and find which relay and hotwire the relay to be on all the time.

isn't the turning on the fog light ONLY easy?

i am not sure, i may be wrong but what i think is...

if you connect a (+) wire from battery to fog lights (+) and inline a switch, i think it is possible?

correct me if i am wrong. =)
