First, what headlight bulbs are best and brightest for the stock headlight setup on an 87 GXL?
Second, I have some old Bosch fog lights/driving lights (not sure what to call them) but they are fairly bright, give a wide, low beam but they are just that....OLD! (1988) They are fairly large and rectangular. i want something a little smaller and more in the 2000 era
I would like to use the wiring that was placed for the Bosch lights since it is aftermarket stuff and not standard with the car and is wired exactly the way I want it. It would be easy not to have to rewire. Any ideas on make, model and type of fog lamps to replace these?

I got CATZ msx-81 fog lights, they will run you a buck or two but they fit in the brake duct holes on the s4 nose cone with some custom modifications. the are the rectangle ones. 80watt hyper white bulbs. and I also got the h4 head lights with 55watt PIAA hyper white head lamps. it looks sweeet.

I would be very interested in those crystals. How much are we talking? i saw some nice diamond cut crystal types on ebay but they were listed for 88-97 models. I tried e-mailing the folks to see if they would fit 87 GXL before buying but their e-mail was out of service.
