Hey all,

Both foglights on my 2010 burned out within a few months of buying the car (they didn't make it through the first winter).

Today I finally went to NAPA and the guy found the bulbs, and they were 36 bucks each.

Does anyone know where to get them any cheaper (or the bulb number so I can search myself -- I forgot to remember it when I walked out). I'm just replacing them because I think they look nice (they don't create any significant amount of light, even in inclement weather) but I'm not willing to part with 70 bucks for them!

Thanks a lot,

Tyler

I bought my housings and bulbs with a 7 color led for $54 off ebay.

For future searchers:

The bulb is apparently a PSX24W. According to the internet, which is never wrong, this can be replaced with a 9009 or an H16. I have personally tried neither. I found talk of melted lenses with the higher-wattage replacement bulbs.

Fortunately, it looks like there are cheaper PSX24W replacements available online.

Interesting. Googling some images, the 9145 bulb is what the NAPA guy brought out for me (what his system told him fit). He was puzzled when I when out and grabbed a bulb from the jeep and it was the spherical PSX24W. He had no idea what it was, but another parts guy walking buy saw it and rattled off the part number for him.

So it would appear there is confusion out there, but my 2010 definitely has the spherical 24w's.

Edit: some images. I have this:
