I have an 05 FX4 which has the rectangular fogs and one of my bulbs went last month. i know its 9145 or 9140 or something but i read here that i CAN use 9005's. Princess auto has a set (2) of 9005's for 9.99 but there 100w. and to replace with a regular bulb its 13.99 for 1. Im pretty sure it was mentioned that the stock is 40w, so i just wanted some opinions or peoples dealings with this.

 

Normal 9005 are either 55 or 65 watt. I think a 100 would melt even the rectangular fogs. Something the normal 9005s do to the round fogs.

 

just get 65w Silverstar bulbs and you'll be happy

 

The 100w bulbs are extremely hard on your trucks wiring. You can use either a h10, 9140, 9145, or a 9005 bulb. And get some HID's now. It is well worth it. I reccomend www.retro-solutions.com. But DDM Tuning is have a sale and you can get fogs for 35ish I think.

 

Shoot, I don't think I'd even run 100W in the headlight housings...

If you want to stay halogen, get SS or that one ebay brand that some people were running here for a bit (I think the bulbs were like 13 each and were similar to SS.)

 

Ok so im going to order HIDs from DDM for both my headlights and fogs.and for my acura el.. So its H13 for my headlights and which should i go with for my fogs?
also which should i go with 35w or 55w? it says 55w is 40% brighter and for color the 55w 8k bulb is the same color as the 35w 6k bulb..anyone with experience have any pics or?

 

H10 in fogs H13 in heads

55w in heads
35w in Fogs

Color Temp. of choice

 

Thanks!!

 

I just put silverstars in both headlights and fogs. Drove last weekend in a snowstorm at night and had excellent light with low beams. No need for high beams at all.
