The 2006 trucks have the round driving lights as well.
I'm not sure if there is an actual difference in the 9140 & 9145 bulbs. I also noticed that the Sylvania site calls out 3157 tail light bulbs for the 2004/05, but for the 2006+ they call out 4057. I've looked at a 3157 and a 4057 side by side and I can see no difference.
Maybe there was some DOT or FMVSS requirement change because I think the 3157/4057 and 9145/9140 bulbs are the same. I hope they are because I'd like to put the Silverstar 9145's in my 2007.

Thanks svt2205,
So the new tail lamp bulbs have a slightly higher wattage so they're brighter, but the new fog lamp bulbs are the 9140 vs. the old 9145, so they made them dimmer? Do you know if the keyed area of the bulb is the same so you could use a 9145 in a 9140 bulb socket? Just wondering because I can't find any 9140 Silverstars.

Anyone have trouble with using the 9005ST in the fog lights? ... I saw a post on another site where a guy with an 07 melted the fog light lens, but that year is a different set up than the 2004-2005 fog lights?
I'm wanting to try this but looking for any problems before buying them.
Thanks,
