I called Autozone once I read here that the H13ST's were out. I had to go to LaCrosse to get my new cell phone and of course the Autozone there was out. So I call the one in Winona, 30 miles in the opposite direction and they had 2, so I just got back from getting them and then driving 60 miles back to the cell store. They are installed and I am going to go for a drive tonight to see what they are like. The H13ST's along with the 9005ST's in my fog lights should really brighten things up

Also I can't get the rebate page to come up, anyone else with this problem?

Is there a difference between the 9145 and the 9005??? I know on the '05s, it calls for the 9145 for the fogs...which I got and just replaced (one side for an A & B comparison tonight) w/ no problems.

The 9145 are the replacements for the fog lights. The 9005's are actually a high beam light (higher wattage) that just happen to fit into the fog light housing. I bought the 9005's since I live in rural Wisconsin and there are all kinds of animals running around that I want to see before I hit them, so a little more light is a good thing. But if I lived in a town or city I would just run the 9145's since you would have oncoming traffic alot more and you don't want to blind them.

P.S. thanks for the link to the rebate form!! Now I just have to out smart my printer......

I've honestly never even driven my F-150 at night, but I may have to breakdown and nab some Silverstars for ol' Blue!

I haven't bought anything for the truck in a long time -- all my extra money is being squirreled away in my Mustang Fund. Ol' Blue is starting to feel left out!

Can't wait brypink, thanks! Did you get the 9005's or 9145's. YellowFX4screw, get some pics of the lights on the garage door. Can't tell by looking at them.

I just took a test drive with the new headlights and running lights and they are great! I also did the conversion today where I can run the running lights with the high beams (what a difference!).
