where do you find quality for light bublbs that do not burn out so quickly?

I've never replaced mine, but if I'm correct, they are 9006's. On other cars, I've had good luck with Phillips and Sylvania, but not GE. Now, Sylvania settled a class action, one would think they've fixed whatever issues they may have had.

You could order them here, lifetime warranty on everything they sell. I have these in my Nissan, no issues (even though the site is for Euro cars, a bulb is a bulb). I have tested them on their lifetime guarantee on other items, it's legit. So even if your car has an electrical issue and the bulb goes, they will replace. You do have to send the old back at your cost (usps is cheap)....good luck.

I've noticed that some brighter bulbs are higher wattage, which I would prefer to stay away from (80W)

I personally use LED's for my foglights in both of LS' and my SC. You can order some good ones on eBay for $25. I had a blue set from Superbright LED's that still works after five years and an expensive set from V-LED's that worked for four years until one blew out. The V-LED set was one of the early high power LED lights. They are built much better now.

Depending on how quickly they are burning out you may need to look at doing more than just replacing bulbs. Clean the sockets of all corrosion and water with electrical component cleaner. Tighten the contacts if needed and use a bulb grease to ensure the contacts stay clean and minimize resistance. After it is all dried out replace a gasket if needed to keep water out. Often people just put the wrong bulbs in a housing even though it will fit. Using the wrong bulb (higher wattage) can cause it to burn out faster and damage the housing and lens. Check that you are using the correct bulb and don't just go off of what is already in there as it could already be the wrong bulb.
Most important for halogen/quartz bulbs is that there is no oil or grease on the bulb (fingerprints) or they just won't last. The quartz glass gets so hot that even a finger print on it causes enough of a temperature gradient to make the bulb fail prematurely.

Also, wear gloves while you install them. The oil in your skin will kill them too

is this true for LED bulbs ?

Gronemus

No, the external glass envelope doesn't get anywhere near the same temperature on an LED bulb as it does in a halogen bulb...

It's not a problem on any of the LED's I have used so far. They never get hot like halogens do.

I put some nice yellow ones in my car. I quite like them.

You can see my vid here with description.

Did the same on mine. Helps cut through the fog quite a bit.

Just to add for those searching in the future, I too used the yellow Calais bulbs for my fog lights and DRL's.

RRocket

Oh? Can you tell me about the DRL?

I used some anti-flicker harnesses from VLED's.
