Wrong. I finally broke down and jacked the thing up to get at it. You have to unclip it from the housing, not twist and pull. Also, advance auto parts has the wrong part number in their system. They have it as an H11/9145 and those bulbs are not even CLOSE to fitting in the stock housing. The factory bulb doesnt come up in their system either. I want to replace the stock bulbs with the silverstars to match the HID headlights, but so far I cant find the match.

There is a thread about this somewhere but I cant remember...

Actually the fog light bulbs are the same as the new avalanches fog lights. They are H16's I believe, but the 9005 bulb size is what everyone uses to put hid's or new bulbs in for them and they fit perfectly. The H16 bulb hasn't really come out yet, but I did find one company that sells a $450 hid kit for the H16 bulb, but why pay that when you can jsut use the 9005 bulb size

Wasnt there an issue of the bulbs getting to hot and melting the housing?

 

[DavidHasselhoff]

yea there was....if you get the halogen bulbs that look like they are HID's they melt the housings and warp the plastic light covers....also if you use 50 watt HID's they also melt your housing..if you want to match your hid's go with a 35 watt 4300k 9005 HID kit....I'm going to get 35 watt 6000k h13's for my headlights and 35 watt 6000k 9005's for my fog lights....

Thanks for the replies gents. I have been finding this out all day searching for the H16s. All the auto part stores have the wrong bulb info in their systems and books. I dont need one because its out, I just wanted to get a silverstar bulb to match my HIDs. Thanks again.
