The RS/WRX guys used to put hella 500s in the hole for the fogs. they either made their own brackets or you can buy them from kartboy.

What is busted? The whole assembly or just the bulb?

I'm fairly certain 500's wont fit in the holes on the Baja bumper. For a decent selection and good prices, though, I'd recommend http://www.rallylights.com

I was on e-bay last nite and someone is selling aftermarket lights that are suppose to fit a Baja. They say that when you buy them, they will send you the correct brackets for your vehicle. But the disclaimer says that there may be small issues to make them fit correctly. Has anyone tried this approach to the factory lites?? You get a pair of them for about $150.00. Mike

Did it say what brand they are? $150 seems kinda steep for foglamps to me unless they are really high-end PIAA or Hella lamps.

Try out this link to ebay. Autopia lights, $72.99 for the kit. Haven't heard of these before, but then again, have not tried to replace the factory fog lights yet. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-07-SU ... 7466QQrdZ1
