5202 cross references to H16 too. DDM has them.

Im sure you know this and dont care, but foglights are supposed to be dim, not super bright. Bright lights would put a whole lot of glare into the fog so you couldnt see.

Its not the "dim" that makes them not glare... It's how low they are to the ground. Fog doesn't settle at ground level because of the heat of the ground.

Hid's in the fog's are more for looks then anything on these trucks. The light don't even go out passed the hood line. I did them just so everything matched up.

Um what? My fog lights work great for my truck. They light up the road really well espeically when they are on together.

I'm going to be putting a diode in soon so I can use all 6 (highs, lows, and fogs) at once so it will be bright as **** when I need em lol

They work good, don't get me wrong. I love HID's, this is my 4th ride I have had them in.
They fog just don't go out past the hood line on my truck. On my 04 Ram I could just run the fogs with HID's at night and it would light up the road without the lows on. I can't do that with this truck. I have to have my lows on at night or I can't see ****. That's why I was saying ther more for looks.
