Fog Light bulbs

[Carolinaboy]

Well I am looking for new Fog light bulbs to put in.....well my fog lights

What have you guys used that you like a lot, I have silverstars in the Heads and like them pretty good (still no HIDS )

I don't want "HID BLUE" look or anything and I DON'T want yellow, but I want something with the most light output. I will be down some trails and out in fields and I want as much light output as I can.

What do you guys suggest?

If HIDS aren't an option, get the biggest watt silverstar that'll fit in there. Look at other bulbs, even with different numbers for the same plug and base hooks.

I am getting rid of my HIDs I have them in my Fogs but I busted one of the bulbs this morning

 

[2001silverado364]

Oh, HIDs can be a PITA.

 

[Carolinaboy]

Yeah I got rid of them in my Heads because they were cutting out as I went down the road

 

[2001silverado364]

Yeah, they're definitely not rugged. Or reliable, for that matter.

 

[Carolinaboy]

Anybody? Besides Silverstar?

I forget the bulb # but since you're lucky enough to have the rectangular fog housings you can run a high beam bulb in there without any melting issues. Unfortunately round fogs tend to melt. If I had rectangular housings I'd be running the high beamers for better visibility.


I think it's 9005.

 

[Carolinaboy]

So I could run 9005 Silverstars in there?

Yes I believe so. You'd want to double-check just to avoid any damage to your housings, but I don't recall ever seeing anyone have any issues with the rectangular ones.
