I replaced the bulbs on mine didnt really make a difference, remember reading a thread on cp ages ago about dull fog lights, apparantly taking them apart and giving the silver relector a fresh coat of paint (not sure which) works a treat, cant find the thread on cp though.

maybe they'd benefit from thicker wiring straight from the battery with relays switched using the original wiring like the headlights do?
