Correct, I believe all the lights are 15 amp fused circuits.

Like I was saying earlier, I took my stock 9005 bulbs & put them in my fog light housings (no mod required, will plug right in). I'm still inspecting my housings every night when I get home to check for signs of warpage, so far nothing in about 3 weeks time. If I do start to see some, I'll just swap in some 1945 bulbs. These housings are very similar to the rectangular housings like on a 2005-06 F150 & they held up fine to the 9005 bulbs. It was the round fog light housings that warped from the 9005 bulbs. It was said that was because the bulb in the round housing set very close to the front, these rectangular housing bulbs set back pretty far it looks like.

Daytime running lights ? None of my lights are on at all unless I cut them on. You can manually cut them off or on using the center screen in the truck. But yes, the DRL are your low beam. The H9 Philips bulbs I got cost me $12.99 apiece, they're rated for 400 hrs of use.

Easy to do when you don't have to see them coming at you at night. Low beams have lower output for a reason and yes I understand aiming and all that is different between high and low but bright is still bright. Can't see at night stay home.
I make my living driving and nothing worse than someone who adjusts lights or makes mods that housings were not designed for with different style or higher output bulbs. ****. Why don't we all just drive around with high beams on all the time

Wish car inspections were required for registration and headlight adjustment along with the it's always foggy and I need to have them on because it's cool lights were checked along with light output and incorrect mods totally rejected

Isn't that the truth. Plus where I'm at is mostly trucks that are loaded or pulling trailers without leveling hitches so even lows look like high beams. Just one of my pet peeves.

Slightly off-topic, but I'd like to keep my truck as close-to-stock as possible but I like whiter looking lights over the stock yellow looking halogens.
Would something like this allow for an easy swap for plug-in-play to be able to get me a whiter look?
