Ueland, our resident electrical GURU!

I agree, we don't tell these Canadians anything until we get more Tim Horton's in the US, eh?

Has anyone replaced the stock bulbs with higher wattage ones?
Part#?
I found some cool new LED lights that look like they would fill the holes once new brakets were made to hold them but over $200 for the pair is a bit much.

I was running 100 watt in my fog lights but the housings started showing signs of melting/heat damage so I took them out. I also had 80/100 watt headlight bulbs, no problems with those yet, but honestly could not really tell a difference between those and stock. Just search for the bulbs on ebay, you will find tons of them. H13 headlight and 9005 foglight.

Just reading through this thread and wanted to throw in my two cents...but I remember doing this on a 2003 Ranger, and all I had to do was pop the hood, pull a relay, and bend one of the prongs, and plug it back in. From that point on, my fogs worked with both high and low beams and I never had any sort of problems. I just recently got a Dakota, which is why I was in here in the first place....and this was my first post.
