i know there is a debate on the validity/importance of fog lights, but one of mine is broken, and i want to fix it. I went to the dealer and they said it would cost $80. that seemed real high so i figured i could do it myself. i read up on sultan's post on how to replace the bulb, looks fun..heh.. so i am ready to do it.. my question is now, how do i get a new bulb? i went to pep boys tonight and they did a search under my car, and fog lights didnt show up. can anyone give me a part number or some way of getting replacements? also, i need advice. do i replace both at the same time or just the one that is broken? if the only option of replacing the bulbs is getting aftermarket non OEM kind, than it would seem that i would want to replace both as to not make the color/brightness uneven. maybe i should just caugh up the 80 bucks? anyones opinion would be highly apreciated. thanks -marty

the bulbs should be H3 12V 55W, according to the writing on the back of the fog light, unless there is a difference in 94 and 96 fog lights. is it actually broken or just burned out?

burned out i am guessing.. only the right one will turn on.. it is possible that it is a bad connection i suppose? the actual housing isnt cracked or broken though.
