i am pretty sure they always used 55 watt H3 bulbs... I KNOW the 5th and 6th gen fog lights use that bulb... not totally sure about the other models... but its the bulb type you look for, not just the wattage... I wouldnt put a higher wattage bulb in there anyway... they tend to melt/discolor the reflector/housing and they blind people.

I found a set on ebay with I think 85 watt bulbs for a hyper white output. I've never bought car parts over ebay but I've always looked at them. Is this generally a bad call? or good call? or is it mixed?

are they H3 bulbs?? I personally dont like the idea of raising the wattage... especially in such a small light... its amazing how much of a temperature difference there is between a 55 watt halogen bulb and an 85 watt halogen bulb. If you can find 55 watt bulbs, go for that... I'd hate to see you ruin a set of expensive factory fogs.
