02 Civic Fog lights

Hi guys, I am honestly looking for a good way to improve the light output for my 02 civic; stock headlights just don't seem to do anything! So i'm pretty close to ordering some fog lights, but I could use some help. Are the fog lights gonna improve my driving visibility for regular night-time driving? Also, should i go with OEM style fog lights, or some PIAA fog lights. TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, AND EVERYTHING YOU RECOMMEND! Thanks a lot! i've been hitting too many damn cats at night!

just get 100W yellow bulbs. Used appropriate wire harness and a higher rating fuse.

no PIAA, they are the same as all others, except double the price.

foglights will only give you a lower ground level light but a wider light span. if you really want better light output out of your headlights get some HIDs. i have 4300K HIDs and some aftermarket bulbs for my fogs, i'm like a lighthouse at night.

Sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead but I have the same situation. I'm about to install 100W (2 bulbs = 200W) H11 fog lamp bulbs and was wondering what is the best type of wire (gauge #) and fuse I should use for this high power draining setup. Thanks for any help, as I will be install the fogs tomorrow and don't want to melt the wires.

www.suvlights.com you can have a complete harness with relays for $35 and the wires are nice and thick. im using it for h.i.d. comes with 40amp relay and i think 35amp fuse. but i would be worried about melting the fog housing more than the wires.
