Hello Peter.  I have a set of Hella FF200s mounted in the mouth of my Miata
now.  I really wanted some GOOD fog lights (read: nice horizontal cut off
and great beam pattern).  Here is a pic of these on an Accord:

They are aboug as big as could fit in the mouth.  They are not quite ALL the
way in the mouth but they have this great swivel mount system that really is
versitile.  I used the holes that my tow hooks were attached to cause I
didn't want to drill anything.  They are cheap too...$116 from
http://catalog.com/susq/hella/newff.htm and they are the best lights I have
tried to date...even with the standard 55watt bulbs they come with.  The
beam pattern is WIDE and really works well in the bad weather.  They are
bright enough to only use them on dark roads and don't hit the oncomming
drivers eyes at all.  Highly recommended and IMHO they look great.  Kinda
rally like but they are cool to me and I get lots of compliments on how they
look and how it's cool I didn't just get those little 1" PIAAs...had those
but IMHO they didn't fit with the look of the car.
