Cheap Fog Lamp Upgrade

[jensen]

9005 hi beams will fit into the stock fog lamp housing on Sierra's with the round fog lights increasing the wattage from 40W to 65W.

any problems with melting the fog light with the increased heat??

[jensen]

nope, Had them now for a year and a half and still like new. use them a lot...do get flashed by other vehicles a lot more though

Somebody on this site melted their fogs with the 9005's. I think there is a thread in the exterior section.

I finnally got to use my fog lights the other night on the way home kinda snowy/windy,I couldn't even tell they were on.This might be worth a try

I used 9005 XD5 Quartz 100 watt bulbs in mine = ended up having to drill holes for air circulation to cool the bulbs.
100 watts is a little too much for plastic reflectors.

I put 55 watt bulbs in my stock fog lights and with-in a year both lens fell out.

Seems to be hit or miss.

Mine in my 2000 Silverado melted within a few weeks. But I also have the auto on Fog mod done.

i know this is an old thread but can i convert to the round chevy fogs if i have a 2002 gmc with the square fogs???

if you are looking for the bulb size of your truck, go to google, type in bulb guide, the first selection that comes up says osram sylvania, then put your year make and model and it will tell you every bulb in your truck possible.
