Bulb Replacement for Fog Light

Just had a fog light bulb burn out, will change both bulbs. Any suggestions on manufacturer to go with?

Philips / OSRAM. I got the performance version (Philips X-Treme Vision +130%), but I wouldn't buy it again.

Thanks, I saw there was a big price difference in the high performance bulbs and wondered if they were worth the money.

To elaborate a bit - I've installed them in my high beams and my fogs, I tested them and found little difference on the road. There are brighter, certainly, but for me it's just not a night and day difference like some people say and it certainly doesn't make me happy for parting ways with such amount of money.

Then take into account the price over a few replacements and we're heading into HID Projector + Kit territory that will outshine and outlast many pairs of halogen bulbs.

I've since reverted to stock bulbs and I'm selling the x-treme visions to someone who won't experience buyer's remorse.
