I recently bought some putco bulbs for my heads and fogs. I thought I would be ok running these because they are only a like 42Watts. Well, after a week or so of running them I noticed my fog housing are melting. Im going to purchase new housings, but my question is....what bulb can I get to run in my fogs that WILL NOT melt my housing BUT will match my heads?(white with a hint of blue).

Thanks for any help!

 

I'd run the stock bulb, but that's me.

 

with the fogs, i had the same problem with the housing melting when i 1st started using hid's. the lens started to warp, so what i did was ordered new housing and switched from 8000k to 3000k bulb. i think i kept the wattage the same. i dont remember. but they still do get realli hot.

 

35w 6000k HIDs.

 

No halogen will be and exact match to an HID bulb.

 

Was my only suggestion for the bluish hue, high light output, and no housing melting.

 

THIS!



anything from putco is trash...

Im kind of a newb with HIDs, can someone help expain? If I choose to go with HID's the fogs and Heads are seperate correct? And I have to buy a kit with ballasts etc? Who sells a reliable kit?

 

I am using DDM Tuning HID's in my foglights. I went with 6000k 35W bulbs. Each bulb has it's own ballast. Do a search for some more info, there is tons on this site on this subject.

You can get them at ddmtuning.com

 

DDM is having a sale. They have slim and the big ballasts. I got the slim because i didnt notice the heavy duty ones. It comes with everything. I got 35W 6000K. Just select the type of bulb (whats in ur truck now) and ur Kelvin.

 

I would do 9145 silverstars in the 06+ fogs or 9005 in the 04-05 fogs.

 

So can you guys get me the correct part number for an 07 35W 5K Fog kit? Thanks!

 

If you wanna go the HID route, H13 for the heads and H10 for the fogs.
