Want to get better/brighter lights for my head and fog lights. But dont want to blow the bank. Anybody ever tried these? Recommended?

Headlight bulbs: Link

Foglights: Link

Dont know much about bulbs, but i assume these will fit/work on an '08 F-150?

Thanks.

Edit - btw, what do the different "H#" things mean?

 

i have them now, several guys just bought some too. look in the silverstar thread and i got a pic of them in my truck at night. i am using the 9005 for the fogs though. i have had them since last june or july with no issues. they are way brighter than the silverstar bulbs, pure white, with a slight slight hint of blue when you stare into them

 

Whats the difference between the 9005's?

 

Got a set. 2 sets actually. Had a "today only" coupon, so got em 50 cents off.

 

9140's come in the fogs. 9145's fit the same, usually slightly higher wattage.
9005's fit in the fogs with a little trimming of one of the tabs, usually 65 watts or something. Some people have had issues with them getting too warm in fog assemblies.

 

the 9005's fit in the fogs with no modification, mine fit right in. little cars don't seem to like it though, lol

 

Bulbs came yesterday. Went out this morning to put em on and the Fog bulbs look nothing like the stock bulbs. I dont see how they could possibly go on there. The bottom(metal) bit below the bulb is different and their is also a wire coming out. Any ideas? Are these the wrong bulbs?

Going to try the heads now.

 

Well, the headlight bulbs fit just right, but one blew out as soon as i turned em on. Get what you pay for i guess. They do have 1 year warranty though.

 

really, talk about bad luck. the 9005 installed in the fogs with ease.

 

do the 9005's have the same type housing as the stockers? These look nothing like em.

This is what they sent me. Am i an idiot or are these the wrong ones?

 

the 9005's have the headlight bulb are and then the plug is at a 90 degree angle
these are what they should look like

 

Can you link me to the ones you ordered?

 

These are H3's not 9005's

I had asked what those numbers meant but nobody said anything. Guess i'm sol with those. So are the 9005 foglight bulbs the only ones that'll work for my truck? What are the 893, 894, 880 foglight bulbs? Thats all they have other then the H3's.

Doubt it but maybe they'll replace my H3's.

Thanks for the link ATOM.
