Nighthawk bulbs, do they still sell them?

For a few years now, I've been using the GE Nighthawk #9005 bulbs in my 2000 F-150 fog lights. They don't last vey long, but they were short money @ wallyworld. Well, I need replacements, and it looks like walley doesn't sell them anymore. Anyone seen them in the stores? GE website isn't much help.
It lists Ace Hardware (called a few local stores - don't sell them) WalMart - alresdy hit the stores in my area - no go, Fred Meyer?? never heard of them & mp`vp tire etc - not in my area.

One reason I didn't mind the fact they didn't last long, was they were reasonably priced (maybe $25 for the pair) whereas the Sylvania Silverstars were almost $40 for a pair. I didn't mind changing them - now I wish I bought a few extra sets.

I couldn't find them last time I replaced the headlights in my Explorer either. I used a regular generic bulb and I didn't notice much of a difference. I know that with our Expedition the 9005 over 9006 bulbs made most of the difference rather than the bulb type. I would try using a regular bulb and see how that works for ya.
