Probably not, enless you want to run new wires to support the added draw, The bulbs in there now dont draw much, or as much as your headlights, plus you got to have some serious modifications to your houseing to make the bulb fit.

I reccommend getting blue LEDS same look, use next to no electricity, last a long time, and are brighter makeing your hoe more visible to other motorists .

that im not sure. Online is where i got mine for my 06. I would say that your only going to find stock replacement bulbs at your local auto parts store.

I'd worry about the lens getting too hot.

I'd worry about defeating the purpose of the fogs by making them brighter and increasing the reflected lite from the fog.

Of course if you're one of those that drives w/ their fogs on all the time because of the cool? factor, then that's different.

LEDS run cooler than the stock bulb. But if you mean putting HIDS in there then YES, while they run cooler than your headlights, the bulbs in the DRLS are only like 5 watts, compared to your headlights which are 55 watts.

The fogs are not used as DRLS, the DRLS have their own bulbs and are only on when the headlights are off. The fog lights use a seperate bulb.

But i have to disagree, I put HIDS in my 06 fogs and it HELPS ATON!!! could see much better right infront of me and to my sides and fowl weather at night they were the best. Now they were so bright i would not use them except in fog or in fowel weather, 4300k in low, high and fog, on my 06 with a 6 high mod, was INCREDIBLE!!!

the stock fogs really dont help much as their so dim.
