Foglight Bulbs...
Well guys and gals-
After 42,700 miles in 18 months on my 1999 F150, one of my foglight bulbs finally burnt out last night, and I went to get a replacement for it, and can't find the bulb anywhere. It is the 9145 bulb (H10), no parts store has them, and then I stopped in a Ford Dealership, and they pulled it up on the computer, and they list not only the 9145, but also the 9006 bulb....So which is it? Do I have to stay with the 9145 or can I switch to the 9006 without any problems? Please let me know....I want my fog lights back......Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide to me.

Yeah, I noticed that they looked similar...but I am wondering what the long term effects are with going to the 9006..If there is a wiring problem, or melting problem with the lens on the fog lights...

I've got 9006 bulbs in mine for about a year now. No problems so far.
