Re: Use 9005 bulb in fog lights?

I was looking at the Xenesis bulbs to replace the OEM parts with, but was curious if anyone had actually considered the 9005 bulb for their fogs...
Thanks for the info though!
The 9005 bulbs are used for high beams in cars that have 9006 for low beams. They might be to bright for oncoming cars if you use them in the fogs. You could try them and see how they work.
