There are HID (high intensity discharge) kits available to replace basically any halogen bulb you would ever find in a car. These will include the bulb, and the ballast/igniter, which must be mounted somewhere under the hood near the headlight housings. Most any kit you buy will plug right into your stock harness, or if you feel you're up to it you can pull power directly from the battery through a relay.
Regardless of what pepboys says, there are also plenty of whiter (not halogen yellow) tinted filament bulbs available for your fog lights, if that's what you would prefer.
Basically you take the bulb type for your 2006 fogs, (9145) and find yourself an hid kit or bulb replacement you would like. If you go with a standard bulb replacement, don't go any higher than a 55 watt bulb, and if you go with an hid kit, stick with a 35 watt kit. Any higher and you risk drawing too much current through the factory harness or melting the actual foglight housing with the extra heat generated.
To answer your question of which will be brighter, the answer is an HID kit.
