What kind of foglights? I'm assuming they are some big aftermarket ones.
Normal fog light bulbs are usually 55 watts. If you run a 150watt bulb you will have to do some serious wiring upgrades to them and probably melt the housing. I can't even imagine 500 watt ones.

I thought more light in fog was a bad thing, it just reflects off the fog...

I don't know about replacement bulbs, but they make super-powerful HID foglights for about $600....

Aircraft landing lights

250 Watts at 13v
Got 2 on a Scout and it is like daylight. Just make sure you run dual relays, large wiring and I suggest a circuit breaker over fuse.
