Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions to increase the light output for the stock fog lights?
Is it as simple as a bulb replacement!?
Thanks

The stock lights I'm not so sure about but many on here have changed them over to LEDs such as the ones that Jumper sells I believe in the lighting thread or the plug and play set that The Retrofit source sells.

I put LED in mine. They *might* be a bit brighter, but they don't use as much power so I use them instead of the headlights if the engine is off and I need lights.

If you wish to use your fog lights as they were designed...to illuminate the road in front of you in heavy fog situations, brighter is NOT what you need. If you wish to use them as auxiliary lights, yes, a brighter bulb will give you more lumens.
