mmm not sure about the fog light change but you could tint your windows, get red outs on your tail lights, lower the car with some springs, get a roof spoiler...lol there are a lot of tasteful mods you can do.

if you want bright and pale yellow, get hids. if you want deep golden yellow, get luminics or nokya bulbs.
i've got luminics. love the colour.

I heard that if you install anything over the wattage of the oem fogs then you will burn the housing is that true?

Yellow HID should improve light output. Those should be enough, no need for overlays.

stay away from 55 watt HID kits, they will melt your housings. stick to 35 watt

i've had my bulbs about 5 months. no problem.
llama has had his for 2 years and no problem.
just get some dielectric grease and smear it between the contacts.
