120 LED foglights are worthless

I bought some of the LED foglights listed on ebay
2X Car Auto 120 LED 3528 SMD H7 Xenon White Fog Driving Head Light Lamp Bulb 12V | eBay

If that page disappears they're sold by ouyou2010 titled "2X Car Auto 120 LED 3528 SMD H7 Xenon White Fog Driving Head Light Lamp Bulb 12V"

Photos attached.

I did have to use a dremel on the LED bulb to trim it down a bit because the individual LEDs are square not rounded domes so they jutted out just enough to not fit. Dremeling apparently did not hurt the LEDs though as you can see from the photo of the LED bulb fully lit.

I stood behind the car and took photos to try and get a good view of what the driver would see. The last photo is just the LED fog light on the left. Second to last is the regular fog light on the right. These photos are a good representation of how the lights really look.

To sum it up the 120 SMD LED fog lights are completely worthless and see no reason why anyone would waste their time with these even if they were free. I own LED flashlights that are brighter.
