Got mine over a year ago from advance discount auto parts. And they make 'em for the foglights...

I've read very confusing details, so I'll ask you guys.
What bulb is it for the foglight on my 08 Scab?
I've read it was an H1. Then I read it was an H3.
Then I read it was 9140.
Can someone here tell me which bulb it actually is?
I don't want to spend $30 per bulb for the wrong foglight.

headlight bulbs Part # H13 a.k.a. 9008
Fog lamp bulb Part # 9145 or H10 the 9005 will also work with slight mod to the bulb, you have to cut 1 small tab off

My Manual says the foglight # is 9140.
But, the 9005 is the one that worked perfectly for me.
I didn't have to cut any tabs off.
Oh...and I got the Silverstar High Performance bulbs for the headlights and foglights.
Now I just have to wait until tonight to see how well they really worked.
From a daytime comparison, the foglights were easily 3x as bright as the stock bulbs.

Ran SilverStars in my Excursion for 3 years ( head lamps and fogs) With a BriteBox and a SUV wiring Harness and never had a problem.
Have SilverStar Ultra`s in my `06 F150 ( Headlamps and Fogs) with a BriteBox and SUV wiring Harness for 2 years and still no problems.

Your highs stay on with your low`s.
As for the SUV harness it is a plug and play new harness for your lights that bypasses the factory wiring and get power right from the battery.It changes the voltage from 12.2 to 14.4 and I think now you can get it set up with a britebox wired in.
