Fog lights usually come 50watts in a yellow color or white with a yellow lense. Driving lights (what I personally would choose) can be found in 100watts and are clear white, maybe with a slight blue tint. You can find low profiles lights that are about 2 inches tall in either wattage at walmart, or any web site that sells after market parts.

I'm about to get Sylvania auxillary HID driving lights - they look like fog lights but cast the far HID beam pattern (TRUE HID, not blue-dipped 'xenon brand' halogen bulbs). Far more expensive but very worth it.

these days ' driving/fog ' lights have tons of different wattage's most start at 55 watts then 85 watts. piaa
are 100 watts. are you thinking yellow,(fog) or the white
lens. I ve found while driving in fog that nothing REALLY
cuts through it. it makes it worse. thats me.. I know for a fact that any driving/fog lamp 85 watts up,, gets really
hot. so watch where you mount them. On my 69 mustang i have air craft navagation lights, (the lights in the grill)(well behind the grill,,really)... talk about bright/brite. no place to mount them on the 7.
