03 Fog light bulbs are model 9145. I searched around and found that the 9005 bulb (hi beam) works in its place. I was wondering if this could be done or if any problems would occur. Have any of you guys done this already?

 

9005 is a hotter bulb and will probably melt your fog light housing.

 

Man Im pretty sure It'll work but it'll probably start melting your valance. And youll have some pissed off drivers with those on

 

FWIW I've read elsewhere of someone using the 9005's and hasnt had any issues. He said he also has them on 90% of the time.

 

Hey guys, new to the site. I'm using the 9005 bulbs in my fog lights on my 03 and haven't had any problems. They definitely light up the road a lot better.

 

sweet, I have my stock bulbs from the Silverstar install, what kind of wattage you guys runnin thru them, I hard wired my oem kit I bought off of ebay to bypass the computer so I would have to reprogram it/ only run them selected times....the power is comming from one of the accesory fuses on the side panel of the dash, wasnt real sure which one to hook it to.

 

You can do it but you'll notice your housing becomeing weird colors.

 

Hey Duwem you have an obs truck like mine the foglights are different we use some kind other bulb I cant remember off hand I dont think they will work.

 

Yup, checked today, the prongs are closer together on the plug and the hole has 3 cutouts for the stock bulb where the headlites are just a round hole...SOL on the swap I guess, anyone have any other solutions, my Silverstars are white and the fogs are yellow, looks kinda nasty and I like to use them basically whenever I'm driving.
