What you need to do is look on ebay for foglights that have the glass housings. They have some that are the same diameter of the factory fogs. WHat I did was cut the factory back off the factory fog and gutted the middle and attatched it to the new fog assemply. I did this so the new foglight would be held in the same way as if it was the factory fog. Thew new fog holds an h3 bulb and it looks great havent had a problem since. I did this because like you, my factory fog lamp melted, hope this helped.

Do we know that this size bulb would work on the proprietary size GM is using?

Do we know it will not melt the housing or lens?
