I think the $75 "stock" fogs are a great deal... from the dealer they are over $300 and www.ahmotor.com has them for like $250!! If you go for them, just be sure to get the ones with the clear lenses.

Pilot uses cast housings... not plastic, so they dont melt... they also use glass lenses... again, they dont melt.

My dad has a pair of Pilots on his truck, they were about $50... he bought the truck new in 2000 and put them on about 2 months after he got it... and they still look and function like new today.

My friend has a pair of old Pilot fogs that I had on my first car (about 4 and a half years old), that are still on his car... they too, still work and look like new, just had to replace the bulbs as no halogen bulb lasts that long.
They are built well... they just dont jack the price up for no reason, like Piaa.

A standard H3 bulb is about $5... you can get Hella "white" bulbs for about $6 a piece.
