I just ordered up some 120 LED 3528 SMD H7 Xenon White Head Light Lamp Bulbs that list the LM at 800. We'll see.
I just recently bought the car and it was like this. It looks like I'll have to buy a whole new light, huh? I've started looking and these things are pretty pricey. No fog lights for me until I know of a solution. Please share what you find out with your new bulbs.
