Well, back when I had my '83, the silver paint on the fog reflector was all pretty much gone and one of my lenses was cracked. I think my turn signals did a better job of ullimunating the road. Anyways, looked into buying OEM replacements and at the time couldnt afford it / didnt want to shell out that amount of cash at the time, so when out to PEP Boys 
and bought aftermarket fog lights until I could replace the original ones. Set me back 40 bucks or so, don't recall exactly, and didn't look too horrible/riceish in my opinion. Made a custom bracket and they worked just fine. Unfortunatley I never got around to buying the OEM ones and actually sold the car that way. oops. Please disregard the valence damage in the pic. It was done by the PO, I swear

I love my factory fogs...nice and bright with the unsandblasted lenses. Anyways as for yellow fogs, i think there is a company that makes protector films for the fog lenses that will make the fog lights shine yellow.

i had some PIAA solitare 1's or something on my old audi, supposedly very good and very expensive, but they were total crap. couldn't tell if they were on or not. not really the same application as they're roundish, but don't buy PIAA.
