Fog Light Replacement Question

Are the factory fog lights side specific due to mounting bolt pattern or beam spread or are they identical?

Only the mounts are different for L/R. The lights themselves are identical.

You don't have to take the covers off, they twist off from the back.

ummm im sure he asked about fog light replacement 9005's wont fit my truck since silverstar says its a
Fog/Driving light
9145
9145ST Silverstar High Performance Lighting: the whitest and brightest Halogen

but the book i have says H3 bulb im going out to look right now

just to be sure were talking about the square fog lights in the bumper right ( i am )

interesting i guess you can't always trust what you read tiss not a H3 bulb it is a 9145 if you look at a H3 bulb you could understand why i thought you had to remove the cover

my bad - well the book at the store's to be real

I've already got the 9005ST SilverStars in the factory fogs (big improvement). I smacked a deer on the right side and it broke the right fog light from it's mount. Once in a while a single fog lamp goes up for sale on E-Bay but it's always listed as "LH" or "RH" so I was wondering what the difference was.

I too went to 9005s. Hugh improvement...only a slight increase in power usage. Over one year in use with no trouble. In fact, my self and two friends have done this with no problems.
