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.
