Fog lights 2009f150 - I just replaced my housings/bulbs
Just in case if there is anyone interested.
I bought my truck new & replaced my headlights & fog lights roughly 3yrs ago (Sylvania ultra headlight bulbs & Sylvania silverstar 9145 foglight bulbs) with much improvement overall in visibility.
Around April2017 I had a fog light bulb to burn out & so I put my stock 9140 fog light bulbs back in & lost much visibility.
I didnt want to put new bulbs in my old housings due to there condition (pictures below).
I looked at the available options out & just decided to go back with what worked to begin with (9145 in the stock housing).
Note: I have quite a few led bulbs/lamps on my truck but decided against so for the fogs (just my choice).
The new housings look just like stock other than there #s/info & they surprisingly came with Sylvania 9145 basic bulbs.
Pictures are what there are.
The bulb blew in the housing on the left
(the 1 that isnt as melted)
(the roof of the housing showed signs of heat damage also)
New housing
Didnt realize how bad my stock lamps had gotten
Bulb that came with the housings NOTE:#9145 (Basic)

I did the same the day after getting my 13. Had ss ultras in my former Silverado, but wasn't completely happy with the down road light using stock and aftermarket housings. Went down a level to the silverstars for my headlights and put ss vision 9005's in my fogs. I know in time I'll need to replace the fog assemblies cause both sides already had a burn blurr spot. But I've been pleased with them thus far.

How's she goin' eh?
Bumping this as I'm at Walmart and hoping for a quick response.
I have a burnt out fog light, replacement computer here says 9140. They are sold out, I looked online for a replacement. I'm finding in this link http://www.lightbulbs4cars.com/h10/9145%20bulbs that 9145 will also fit with some extra wattage. Can anyone confirm this for me?
I'm gonna go grab my cereal from across the store and check for updates.

9140- The 9140 (H10) bulb is a small, single-filament bulb uses primarily for fog or auxiliary lighting purposes. Emits 40W of power at 900 lumens, exceptional use for low-power, low-heat spaces. 90-degree PY20d base.
9145- The 9145 (H10) bulb is a more powerful version of the small 9140 bulb. Acceptable heat output for small spaces. 45W of power at 1100 lumens. 90-degree PY20d base.
