I’ve had the Auxbeams for about a year too and am not a fan but haven’t read good enough stuff in this thread to want to change. Your post has changed my mind. Going to order them Friday! Thanks!

As stated, fogs aren't that big of a deal to me. Just not required as much since the Beamtechs.
yeah, I thought the fogs were going to be brighter than they are. I’m going to try the 9005 below and hope they are brighter!

Thanks for the advice as I ordered some and installed them. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again!

The 9005 bulb is the way to go for fogs!

I always thought bright light tends to bounce back from the fog mist and you don't see as far. That's why you should use low beams in fog rather than the high beams. Dimmer light penetrates deeper into the fog. How are the 9005's in fog?

I think the low beam for fogs is more related to the way the high beams are pointed at a slightly higher angle.

Amazon's fitment chart isn't the most accurate. It says my Allas wouldn't fit either. I think that's because they're supposed to be a 9140 but I went with a 9145. But yet even though it says it won't fit the truck at the top of the page, the item description cross reference shows 9140, 9040, 9045, 9145, 9050, 9055, 9155, H10, PY20D,etc.

You want H13 (9008). These trucks have both high & low beam in each of the 4 bulbs.

Fog Lights? 9005 if you're okay with really bright fogs or different brand if you want the stock size 9140 bulb. The 9005 bulb is actually a headlight, not sure of the legality of that bulb being installed as a fog light, but I sure do like how bright it is.

You guys know how to make people spend money. Last week I did the beamtech H13 led headlights and 9005s beamtech in the fogs. I wanted the factory leds but’s it’s not available for sclb xlt and I don’t see spending 3k to upgrade. I will say I thing there brighter then the factory led lights.
Street lights


No street lights


LEDs on my truck factory on my brothers


Doesn’t look like it’s always discharging lol
