Would those lights be brighter if I put them in my Blazertechs? Or are there other lights I could put in my blazertechs to make them brighter.

oh no, the blazertechs are 55W. If you want to do that then get a 55w bulb that you like. The blasertechs are nice and bright, but you can find white ones if that is what you are looking for.

Is that in your factory fog lights?

What are the blazertechs everyone is talking about with 50w bulbs?

No, Blazertech lights are after-market.

Blazertech 3200 Driving lights (to supplement the high beams)
Blazertech 3200 Driving lights (http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PFYC&Product_Code=PN1002&Product_Count=17&Category_Code=GAEXT)
You can also get Blazertech 2200 foglights (lower aimed beam pattern) too.

blazertechs is a brand of lights like the PIAA fogs, or the Pilot fogs. They are purcahsed from www.pfyc.com/gagt/ of click the banner advertisment on this page... They aslo have a new one out called the angle eyes, and they are very cool. Check out an AutoZone for the Pilot lights they are very nice and bult well to hold a nice high watt bulb :)

I'm gonan have to go ahead and suggest against the Eurolite 37.5w crappiest pair of light sive ever seen, and they lasted about 2 months, and the whole bulbs isnt blue, and with the way our fogs make the bulb tilt, the light emitted ends up being half blue half yellow

all the bulbs there are the APC white ones (they had another that was more blue, but I can not rememebr the exact name lol)

I like the APC a lot, but when they are on during the day they appear an offwhite, but at night are very white. I think it is because they are such a low wattage.

I do hope the fogs last I really like the look, but really I am thinking about those new angle eye fogs from pyfc! :) They look great, and if I could wire them in with my strobe ontroler (streetglow) and then I coudl have them all in sequience. I think I can connect the led type to it, but not sure...

I am having the same problem deciding on fog lights right now too. How hard are the blazers to install, because by the looks they look kinda tough. And are there any other bulbs beside the eurolite bulbs that were mentioned. thanks

I have installed the blazers in a 95 GT and used the stock bracket so it was very easy to do. I do not have them in my 00GT, but I though with a little drimmiling of the stock bracket you could actually do that also, but even if you did not want to worry about that, the removal of the fog light is easy and the installation will be easy if you have a drill, and know how to conenct the power and ground. :) or if you run the reply kit that is not much harder, just takes time to route everything...

Go check out yoru stock fogs and how they are in there, you will see it is pretty easy to get to.

The install is easy. the hardest part depends on how you remove the fog lights. I found a place to ground the blazers without drilling. :)

What's so different about the blazertech's housing compared to the stock fog light housing? Why can't I just use a brighter bulb? Aren't they both plastic?

sigh

Stock fogs are plastic housings.

Blazer 3200s are driving lights, metal housing, glass lens.

2200s are fog lights, metal housing, glass lens.

quick question, what is the highest wattage the stock wiring can handle?

I am so through with APC. Anyway, I have plain 50w bulbs in my stock fogs, they're great.

50 watts would be your best bet. I went with 50 watts for about 4-5 months and i got all kinds of spider cracks on the plastic lenses. I didn't notice a huge difference in light output but i upgraded to the blazertechs, one word. WoW!
