What did you use for your brights? Did you just stick with a regular halogen bulb?
I have had them over a year with no issues, digital. Be sure to use die electric grease on the plugs. I didn't put them in the highs, haven't even needed to use the highs since. I used 4300k bulbs

Hmm. I can't see me not using the high beams. Lots of critters in my area always wanting to commit suicide. Upgrade your fogs at all? I was thinking 4300 or 6000 for the color. They look the brightest to me. I don't need fancy blues and purples.

I have them in the fogs also, and I assure you with the lows and fogs its daylight in front of my truck

Ok. Didn't see their fog kit but I found it. I guess that'll be my birthday present to myself. Haha. Oh, and thanks for the replies and recommendations! I'm looking forward to lighting up ditches!

The stock fogs are absolutely pathetic as well. I miss my 2003 3/4 ton...that thing lit up everything with silverstar bulbs.
