: High beam lights in fog lamps idahofox 10-22-2005, 10:01 PM Thanks Bud, didn't know that, good info. partsguy662 10-22-2005, 10:04 PM Yep, they work..but beware..they will melt the lamp assembly sooner or later GMC2500HD 10-22-2005, 10:04 PM I just want you to know that I did this and the housing of the fog lights was fine but the reflector portion in the housing on my truck turned blue from the heat. So I took the bulbs out and replaced them with an aftermarket white/blue light bulb that puts out more light without the wattage of high beam bulbs. Just FYI incase you decide to do this. Might want to monitor the reflector and housing. Good luck michael nelson 10-22-2005, 10:16 PM good info..tks sidro 10-22-2005, 10:30 PM Yea I did it on my 03 Silverado and I had a 6" Pro Comp on It and i got flashed all the time and they do start to melt and turn colors. Bakatare 10-23-2005, 12:19 AM The stock bulb is an 9140 12 volt 35 watt output. The stock high 9005 is 12 volt 60 watt output. Max Power 10-23-2005, 12:32 AM It will also probably melt the wiring and plug. aztjc 10-23-2005, 01:03 PM GMC2500, which bulb # did you end up with? Thanks GMC2500HD 10-23-2005, 02:55 PM I would have to pull them out and look. I will do that next time I am under there.. ob_1jr 10-23-2005, 06:44 PM I have been running high beams in mine for over a year now with no problems. The reflector this is a little blue, but nothing to be concerned with. Stock bulb is a 9145, I was having problems finding those, so I just put the high beams in there since they were readily available. Wholly Kaw 10-24-2005, 01:42 AM Is there a new bezel that has a higher wattage bulb in it that we can buy and replace the stock one with? Kennedy 10-25-2005, 02:47 PM I have them in my 2005. When I meet yo-yo's with their fog lights on in traffic (so long as no innocents behind them) I turn mine on to greet them. I get a LOT of high beams flashed at me when I do this. They are glary and bright enough stock let alone souped up... buildingup 10-25-2005, 03:17 PM Anyone know if the high beams in fog lights would work on an 2002?? Take it to D' Max 10-25-2005, 04:28 PM High Beam bulbs do not work in the 02. The 02 uses the 880 not the 9145. You can replace the 27 Watt 880 bulb with a 37.5W 893 but it still doesn't get you close to the high beam brightness. There have been several discussions on this and I have yet to see a better solution. I am considering replacing the whole light assembly. We have also not come up with a way to keep the fogs on when you go to brights in the 02. There are several ways to do a 4 on mod on the 03+ that keep the fogs on but nothing on the 02. wpatrus 10-26-2005, 10:54 AM hmm, I already get flashed all of the time- hmm it would be nice to hit them with the real hi beams and also super bright fogs when they do...
