I believe 9008/H13 are the same. However your truck is 9007. Which headlight housing are you using? If it's the stocker just slap some 9007 bulbs and go. I think your PO did what my PO did and just wired bulbs individually from a 9007 harness to the incorrect bulbs.
I haven't had any luck finding anything at box stores, including NAPA. The best I could find are "high temp" pigtails, one for h13, one for 9007, then would have to solder and heatshrink.
I was thinking of ordering these, but even overnight is still Tuesday eve for us.
Good reviews, one says they were ceramic, one says the headlight side was sealed (wire grommets), but I have no problem gooping them.
but that is not a h13 it looks like a HID conversion bulb which needs to be connected to a ballast. follow the wires you unplugged that from and find the ballist.
you could always just get the stock 9007 bulb which will plug directly into that connector.

9007 bulb
Yep, that's the socket I found AdvanceAuto carries (no O'Reillys near here), but I'd have to solder it.
That bulb says H13 on the back and is the OLD HID bulb that I'm removing. I already pulled the ballast and have new H13 standard bulbs ready to go in.
9007 bulbs would connect to the factory harness, but would it fit into H13 headlight reflector socket?
Think that's where I'm at. Wasn't even sure what the numbers were when I started this post, LOL.
Thanks to all for the very quick info!
I should have checked before, but I *ASSUMED* the PO did the pigtail conversion, then added the HID ballasts. Nope!
Inspection ran out end of month and the headlight died on the last day of the month
Oh well, after this, then I'll have it squared away. Also going to replace the foglight bulbs with 9005. Should probably go see what kind of adventure that will be
Appreciate all the help, guys!
Anyone use the adapters I linked? I'd be interested in feedback. Going to order them in the am, just in case someone changes my mind
Update: I installed the adapter harnesses in my post above. The fit was very good. Had a little trouble with connecting it to the bulbs, had to install the bulb into the adapter first, then install the bulb into the headlight housing.
Thanks for all the advice
Had to be very deliberate when connecting the factory harness to the adapter, too. VERY particular and snug alignment and fit.
Worked with my basic H13 bulbs, no problem
But I noticed a problem with my passenger headlight. The inner reflector is all floppy. I think it broke free from the headlamp housing. Probably the cause of my HID bulb burning out, too
I'm going to have to see if I can pull the headlamp and epoxy the reflector back in place...
