Default Bulb Question

I was wondering what size bulbs are on the OEM foglights. I'm assuming that they're 9006 (like the lo-beams), but am unsure. I'm also thinking of PIAA ion yellow 55w bulbs. Any thoughts?

I'm pritty sure they are, but don't quote me on it and I love the yellow fog light beam look.

Yellow fogs with some super white headlights would look sexy!!!
I want to get the fogs for my moms car but Im not paying all that money.

Also, I suggest MTEC yellow bulbs. MTEC kicks ___ and I beleive there Ion bulbs have a 1 year warranty.
I bought some MTEC superwhites off ebay and they have a lifetime warranty. To tell you the truth there a lot brighter than the stock bulbs with a hint of blue/white.

I also had Nokya Artic Purple bulbs. The MTEC are by far way brighter.

I am currently running silverstars for my headlights, so I agree that the blue/yellow combination would look good.

What is the highest wattage bulb I can run on the foglights without frying the wiring?

Silverstars dont do much. They actually look green to me??

I dont know the max wattage. The Nokya bulbs suggested use of there "upgraded wire system" I didnt buy that and used the bulbs for around a week with lots of night driving. The Nokya's are 100watt.

Ive had the MTEC bulbs in for about 4 days and a lot of night driving also. The MTEC's are 80watts.

Sorry if this is a redundant question, but how much could I expect for a HID head light set for the TC to cost? Is it available yet? If so could anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks a lot.
