Default fog light bulbs

I currently have some GE 1945 bulbs in my fog lights which aren't very bright. Is there any other bulbs I can use to make them a little brighter? All I see is bulb number 1945.

What's the bulb number? Any idea? All I got was h3 which doesn't fit in the housing and the 1945 bulb.

9145 will work too. I have them in my truck atm. Dunno if they're synonymous with any other numbers.

And they connect to the harness? Fit in the housing? I just bought some from Walmart and they wouldn't connect to harness or fit in the housing. Maybe they were 9004's though.

9004's are more like the headlight bulbs our trucks use that are 9007

9006/9005 are for most purpose's exactly the same

9004 are quite different than 9006/9005's

kinda confusing haah

I believe the difference between the 9145 and 9005 is the wattage. The 9005 will be more powerful. I ran them instead of 9145 on my Ranger and it melted the housing lol. But multiple people here don't seem to have any issues with the f150 fogs.
