Lightbulb Exterior lighting

Hey im sure this is one of the most talked about issues for the 04 F-150 and newer, i have a 2010 F-150 Screw and this past weekend i was up in New Hampshire close to the mountains there are no streetlights on the roads i was driving and i couldnt see to well with the "highs and fogs" on so my question is this are there any bulbs that i can upgrade with for both headlights and foglights without going HID but i want a lights for both with the same type of light, i looked up differant options that i can go with but was wondering if someone else in my boat has the same issue. i really want to stick with the same bulb kind for each light the heads are H13/9008 and the fogs are 9140. i have looked up the PIAA's but cant find a bulb for the fogs just the heads. i had silverstars in my 2007 SCAB for about a year and a half no problems but i cant find them for fogs. also looked at the phillips X-treme powers but cant find the fogs any help would be greatly appreciated. keep in mind i want the same type of bulb for both heads and fogs just brighter than OEM

I did an upgrade to silverstars. I run the 9145 bulb with no problems in the fog lights.

thanks for the info both of you, i will go and get the silverstars for both heads and fogs today will wait for tonight to install so i can take some before and after pics and see the difference and maybe post them as well. i had them before with my 07 (just the heads) and did not have any issues with them and they were much better than the OE bulbs, thanks again gents!

i changed my whole light assembly. the projectors are waaay brighter almost as bright as the old highs and the highs are awesome. they make them in chrome but im going for the murdered out look. and my fogs dont work with the brights.....then u cant tell a whole lot of difference unless u put the yellow bulds in them.

A piece of your front bumper is still bent.

Did you get those heads from ebay? I've been thinking of getting those.

I have been thinking about getting the chrome ones and putting HID's in them. Do you know if you can do that, and if so do you know anyone with pictures of the chrome projectors. I didn't like them until I saw them on your truck. I love the look, but I want to see the chrome ones first.

also on high beams does it put on both lights or just the highs
