Unhappy Where to purchase a driving light(fog light)

I need a drivers side, I call it a driving light some call it fog light but you get what light im talking about. Dodge want $98.00 for one and I'm having a real hard time spending that for a light. If I have to I will but I thought I would give everybody here a chance before I did. To each of you that gives me input "Thank You"

Look at the Hella Optilux 1300 or 1500, one is oval and the other is round. It is 55w (factory is 35w), very similar in size to the factory light and has an H3 bulb which is replaceble. I have not bought them yet but intend too. The best part is they can be purchased for about 45.00 on Ebay as well as other vendors on the internet.

There are several "stock" lights for sale on ebay for considerably less. Just be carefull of shipping costs and who you buy from. Salvage yards also typically charge 1/2 of retail.

Find a good fog or driving light that has a metal case and glass lens... Then you can upgrade the H3 bulb from a 55W to 100W...!!!

Yes... I know it is illegal for highway use! But I still use them!

Funny they also sell 100W headlight bulbs too... Hmmmm....
