You could put a little larger diameter light in there, up to about 3.5" or so without cutting the bumper itself - the trouble is finding a way to attach them. These attach directly to the brackets built into our bumper. There isn't anything else nearby to attach to so you'd have to make some sort of custom bracket to attach any other light to the inside of the bumper - not too simple.

I tested the beam pattern from these and it's really pretty good. There is a sharp cutoff with very little light above it so they should work well as fogs. That cutoff would make a lousy high beam though (what I want them for). However, it looks like I can simply turn them upside down and mount them on the opposite sides, drill one hole in the bracket and I'd have light above a sharp cutoff - great for a high beam. I hope I can aim them so the cutoff line matches the cutoff line from my HID lows. Since they won't be on for more than a few minutes at a clip, they shouldn't get too hot with the H9 bulb. If they were used as fogs with the H9 and left on for a while, it may overheat and deform the housing or something - probably best with the H11 bulb they come with.

Is it possible the left foglight appears brighter than the right because beam angle relative to the camera?

This was on my "to-get" list too, but if it's really crap like that I'll just continue my search for the actual factory units.
