Canadians, can you comment?

My American car now in Canada DRL are the fogs. It was imported through Porsche.I would guess it was done by the dealership that accepted it here.Their not very bright so there must have been a bulb switch as well ?

I'm curious, too. I think they're CCFLs, but I'd like more info and pics, if possible.

I had some bulbs in my Fog lights for DRLs that had like 15 or so leds each and and a fake looking bluish tint (better than nothing). One started to flicker from at least one LED and it looked bad.

I replaced them today with OPT7 H7 CREE LED DRL Fog Light Bulbs - 5000K Bright White- Plug-n-Play (Pack of 2) for around $32/pair, and OMG they are brilliant and have a beautiful bright white beam (like every new car DRL). These are fantastic.....!!!!

Great hack. Way more effective than the things I had in there before. Get these....

Great to hear.

I had these bulbs in my Amazon cart, but was holding off. After seeing your positive review I took the plunge and ordered them tonight.

I'm a firm believer that we need good lighting on our little cars - if they can see us then hopefully they don't pull out in front of us.

thanks!

You're so right. I've had several very serious close calls driving the dark colored Boxster in daylight where people cut across my path like I'm not even there. It's more than bad drivers....They just didn't see me. Now that approx 70% of cars have DRLs, the cars without them "don't exist" in some people's vision.

You'll like these bulbs. You probably should raise the beam of the fogs once they're installed. They will be aiming low and won't be as effective at that angle. I turned 'em 5 full turns clockwise and wrote it down so I could undo it if necessary.

Thanks for the tip on aiming them up higher.
