2005 mcs upgraded led fog lights?

I am looking into some brighter fog lights so my fogs are bright like my normal ones I have the better headlights already but hate the yellow fog lights. Is there any codes I need to worry about throwing? Or which lights I should buy?

No, 2005 models have no bulb out detection or warnings.

wattage is how much power it draws, and whatever the socket is for the fog lights is what you get =)

There is a projector fog ligght. You can get the kit in eBay. They are made in China. They are pretty cool. And different. If I remember correctly the fog lights take an h11 bulb. You can upgrade these per color or wattage. Also look into led h11 bulb conversions. Some of these produce a lot of light and use less wattage so the stock wires won't melt. I will see if I can find a picture of the projector housing. They are cool but for $150 not really worth it unless you have to replace yours anyway due to rocks.
