I hacked my fogs so they are now daytime running lights and put LEDs in and I was disappointed. First, the LEDs don't give you functional fog lights, they really don't light up the road at all, they just look good. Second, the color of the light was inconsistent. With time, the LEDs on both sides would change color from white to bluish and then back again, and of course, not consistent left to right.

I went to silverstars all around and while they certainly are not 6000k white, they are noticeably whiter than stock.
