I knew someone would ask! I got yellow bulbs in both my cars fogs. I went cheap on the Focus and top shelf for the Subaru. The Focus got (I forget the number 889?) from here:

I think after shipping it was $30 for the pair. As you see they are 50W vs stock 36(?)W which brings up an important point, I only use mine in fog/rain/snow. I've come back from up north and an inch of ice has crusted over the entire front of car including headlights but the heat generated by 50W fogs will melt anything that touches the surface of the fog lens. They get hot and are not a good idea if style is your motivation. Some have apparantly had melting issues with 55W bulbs (lens is plastic on North American Focus) but I have not in with 50W and have had the same bulbs for 4 years. Again I only use them in fog/rain/snow, I think they need the cooling effect of moisture on the lens. They are not "Lexus" yellow but a pale "yellowish". Some of the guys have seen mine if you want another opinion.

The question remains "form vs function". If the question is "are they better than stock" then yes, if the question is "will they make me look like a Lexus?" not quite.

As for the WRX I've just last week tried PIAA H3 Yellow ION Crystal. They are 55W bulbs with an advertised 80W output. Too early to tell but very expensive and I'm not sure if they have anything that fits the Focus but they definately are bright.
