just do some silverstars or silverstar ultras in the heads (H13). The fogs are 9145 (stock bulb size), but you can fit 9005's (technically a high beam bulb). Im not sure if you still can fit 9005's with the new round fogs, its been a whille since ive seen an SS bulb thread... Modbargains also sells some new bulbs very similar to the silverstars, I think lazarus has them.

I would suggest going to ebay and searching "nokya" and the bulb number. I have these bulbs in my heads and fogs and are very plaesed with them. I got the 7000k. I went with the Stage ll bulbs for the fogs and they are doing great. The price aint too bad either, cheaper than the silverstars at autozone and look way better.

Just my $0.02,

I asked the same question a while back its the same as the headlights, same bolt everything. If i remember right its on the top dead center on the back of the fog housing. Youll be able to get to it and see if from the wheel well.

I have SS in heads and SS Ultras in the fogs. I would recommend waiting for SS Ultras to come out in H13's (9008), instead of putting regular SS in the heads. I put SS Ultras in my wifes Jeep headlamps and they look a hell of a lot better than just regular SS. Of course they are a little more expensive than ebay "hyper" bulbs, but worth it in my opinion.

I have silverstars for my heads, fogs, and turn signals up front. They are a nice look. I have silverstars in my jeep as well, and I think the color is a little more white in the jeep. Im not sure if it has something to do with it being a full housing and bulb replacement(its an 89) or because the jeep has a glass housing, and the ford has plastic.

Either way, silverstars are good. No experience with hyperwhite.

nokya's are crap. I had the 7000k in my heads and they were the worst bulb I ever bought. you couldn't see squat and they only lasted 2 months before burning out

Too lazy right now to look. I just had a lot of crap happen this weekend and both of my air compressors burnt up so that kind of ruined my weekend even though they're a cheap pos

Id be intersted in some pics. My fogs are still regular bulbs cause im skeptical of converting them to HIDs. My heads are HID and ive had ballast issues which render them useless... so then i drive with my fogs as headlights. Thats the only time i use them cause the truck is so tall.
