PIAA's to replace OEM Fog Lights

I want to supplement my lights and would like to know if PIAA makes light that will fit nicely in the factory fog location.

I'm adding PIAA backup lights so I'd like to keep the brand the same (they're wiring and switches are top notch).

TIA

I went with the Fogzilla from Geno's Garage. It replaces the 9006 lamp with a 9005 lamp which is brighter. You do have to trim one of the tabs on the new lamp. Instructions with the kit were excellent. Kit includes everything except the new bulbs. Replaced the fog lamps with Silver Stars. Best upgrade I've found for the fog lamps. Much easier to see at night now.

I do sometime get complaints from oncoming traffic with the Fogzilla mod. But the fogs really light up the road, compared to the pathetic headlights we have on the 3rd gen trucks.
Now I'm thinking about replacing the 9005 in the fogs with Toshiba 9012 (9006) HIR bulbs.

The Fogzilla mod is great. I used it on my truck when I had the stock fog lights. As far as I know, there aren't any lights out there that replace the stock housings because of the freaky way the stock fog lights mount up. The Fogzilla mod is great though, and easy to do. I've still got mine if anybody wants the harnesses and modified bulbs... PM me.

I have not had any problems with oncoming traffic flashing me. When I installed them I made sure the fog lights were adjusted below the headlamps. Now the fog lights end to where the low beams start. Nothing worse than someone coming at you with thier driving/fog lights mis-aligned. I see it all the time out here in SoCal with the ricers. Mine are nice and bright white, not that irritaing blue like their fake HID light bulbs. For the money the best light mod for the weak headlights. I'm using the silver stars in the headlights, too. Never had a problem with them either. Nice thing is they are just as bright as the PIAA Extremes I had on my 99 1500 but at half the price.
