Default Anyone replace their factory 06' fogs.

I'm looking for a better bulb for my factory fog lights. I looked it up and it is a 9145st. Can anyone tell me where to find that in sylvania ultra or silverstar?

I have some from www.hoen-usa.com
They are brighter, but have a blue tint to them. They match my PIAA headlight bulbs pretty well.
You wont find many aftermarket bulbs for these.
I know I didn't.

If I am not mistaken, it doesn't take much to put one of the headlight bulbs in the fogs on the 03+ trucks.

mine havent melted either. the only ones that melted are the trucks that had that little cover over the bulb in the earlier years. the stock bulbs melted the cover too. so they got rid of them. my 04 has had luminics 9005s for a long time.

So the original high beam bulbs will fit? I did not know this....
I will give them a try and see if I like them over my Hoen bulbs.

Thanks,

Jim

I've only heard that reported from guys with a 99-02 truck, no one with the 03+ has experienced this that I've seen.

Ill be testing if the ultra silverstars will melt the stock foglamps also in the high beams. ill have them on 7 hours straight. im sure in that time ill see if they melt or not.
