Thanks,

I check on autozone online and it said it doesn't have a size to fit a 2009 either. Hmmmmm

I work and bought mine at autozone. Walk in or call them and give them that part number. If they don't stalk it they should be able to get it. 12's use the same h13 bulb.

If the 09-12 use a different bulb depending on year, could you list them for us?

Thanks

Exactly my thought. Silverstars lasted 8 months in my 2004 Dakota, Ultras lasted 6 months in my 07 Cobalt. I ended up going with HIDs in the Cobalt because I got tired of spending $90 per year replacing bulbs when the HIDs lasted me MUCH longer. I never had to replace them and traded the car in to buy the F150 with them still installed and running.

All 09-12's use the same h13 bulb. It goes back to 04 I believe. The zxe's, like the ultras, will not last as long but sylvania does have a year warranty on them.

Agreed. Would like both to have the same white light.

The only problem I have with all these Halogen bulbs is they burn out fast. I used to run Sylvania's on my 06 and had to replace them twice in 2 years. You can get a quality HID kit from Jon_To for 60 bucks and they last forever. I have yet to have an HID bulb burn out because they don't work on a filament. I got my HIDs from DDM tuning and they have a lifetime warrantee so it's a $60 one time fee. And still better bang for the buck.

Just my 2 cents.
