since your goin with hids, you could run the 9005s instead. because hids are 35 watts with 3 times the light of 55watt bulbs, and the fogs in the new trucks are like 40 watts or so, so you should be safe.

The 9005 bulbs will eventually burn up the fog lights. It will turn them blue then black inside. I had it happen on my 03. Has anyone tried a 880 bulb? I have them in my denali and i used them in my 03 sierra with no problems. Silverstar makes a 880 also.

Scream: Shoot me an e-mail when you get a chance. I'll take care of things with you

I was going to say that I'll try fitting a set of 9005s but just read that mrb04 and 03sierraslt did it. Hum... I guess the next thing would be to find lights that are a direct replacement, will accept the 9005 bulbs and have glass instead of plastic.
