GT500 foglight bulb...few questions...

[Chris06GT]

Ok guys, I swapped my GT front end to a GT500 a few years ago.

I had to take the foglights out and reseal them due to moisture. I decided I wanted to upgrade the bulbs until I can get an HID setup. I work at AutoZone part time, and went down there to see what we had.

I pulled up an 07 GT500 and the bulb number's in Sylvania were H11's, or 9145's, depending on wattage.

However, the H11's and 9145's are both twist in style bulbs, and the bulbs in my foglights are the snap in.

1) Are the foglight assemblies able to accept more than one style of bulb?

2) What are my options? I have Silver Star headlight bulbs, and wanted them to match or be close.

Thanks,
Chris

No it's a 5252 hid bulb not many ppl have the "correct" kit for these housings... Wouldn't go over 25w

 

[Chris06GT]

I am not following....sorry for the ignorance. But mine are not HID's...

 

[Chris06GT]

Anyone? I am at a stand point.

ford lists them as a 13N021 fog light bulb. but I also show this number PS24N bulbs

My research says they are an H16 (9009) bulb?

 

[Chris06GT]

See, that's what I am confused one. My number pulls up Sylvania 5252. Same bulb that's in the newer Tahoe's...

I'll take some pics of the housing and bulb and post pics.

I may be way off base here, but I thought the fog light housing for the GT500 is the same part number as the Escape. So if that's the case, would it not use the same bulbs as an Escape?

 

[Chris06GT]

This is like my housing and bulb......

I didn't know if there were any other housing types. The bulb I pull up at Auto Zone is totally different mounting than this bulb I have....

It's a 5202 (H16) bulb in it. I just put HID's in mine from egay a bit ago. 6000k fogs and 6000k Hi/Low HID kit in the mains.

Thanks Kim!!! Do you have any pics of the lights on? I was looking at going 8k, just haven't decided.

Also, did the HID kit snap in like the 5202 bulb's did?

Yes they snap In they are the correct bulb why wouldn't they they fit like factory ! I accidentally put 5252 above but Kim is correct 5202 same bulb I got from hid guy

 

[Chris06GT]

Good deal!! Thanks guys!!! I am gonna finish re-sealing these housings, and then order HID's.

 

[KIMMER]

I should be getting my car back from Brenspeed this weekend, so i'll get pics then. They are fricken bright!

 

[Chris06GT]

Thanks Kim!! Post up pics when you can....

I just placed my order on HIDGUY, and got the 8k Iceberg blue headlight, and 8k Iceberg blue 5202 Foglight kits.

I also ordered their chrome front turn signal housings, LED brake light bulbs, and LED interior light bulbs....

Ok, I went kind of stupid on their site, but I summed up my problems quick.
