Just be careful twisting in the cheapie bulbs. The gaskets on them are bogus. Since the tire kicks crap all over the back of the fogs, you may want to use some bulb grease/dialectic grease on the O ring of the cheap bulbs..

These are what I used... Good light output for cheap, but the quality sucks overall..

Great! After you use them, you will realize quickly when you forget to put them on.. I used to have to get out of the truck to see if my fogs were working with the old bulbs.. The light output is night and day...

I'm using these in my headlights now. I'm probably going to get another set in 9005 form for my fogs once the cheapie bulbs blow...

This the Hellas and cheap 9005's at night

The pic in the Daytime is just one 9005 installed in the right fog light.

Yes, I agree. That is a proven fact. You have to sacrifice higher output for shorter life, or longer life with lower output. That's just the way it is.

I use 25W Cree LEDs for my foglights. I'll be upgrading to aftermarket headlights with HID projectors at a later date.
