Best LED Fog Lights I Have Found
I have gone through a lot of lights for my fogs; HIDs and LEDs. These are by far the best. They are bright, no heat and are more white with no blue tint.

No worries, they were cheap ;) I'll pick up a set of the new ones :cheers:
|
Just ordered 4 of these :p hopefully there is not a new recommendation before I get them ;)
I think I will do my interior lights as well |
12 led bulbs came in today, cheap build quality the glue detached as I installed them but they work so I guess it's not a big deal
Here are some pictures No lights http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...97ad7ec719.jpg Just fog lights (led) http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...e2d7cbb083.jpg Headlights and fogs http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...ea6702bff7.jpg Colour temp difference between the two looks strange but worth not melting the lens http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...d109e56ffb.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

60 w though, have you had any problems with heat? |
Quote:
The wattage refers to the current draw and with LEDs, the heat output is far less per watt than with an incandescent, or halogen lamp |

oh ok, I guess they don't make a led h7 suitable for low beam use ? I would love to have the headlights matching to the fogs for color temp |

the consensus was : not ready for prime time YMMV I wish they were more proven, I would like to use them as well |
Any.....
....updates?

I would recommend going back to halogen. Sylvania Silverstars are great halogen lamps which offers a pure white light.
Although in theory LED are much more efficient than incandescent bulbs, they are not designed to be used in our housing. With an incandescent bulb, light is emitting from all sides of the bulb in a 360 degree and perfectly reflect off of the reflector and point the light forward. Believe it or not, a lot of engineering went into this. When you install an LED bulb into a halogen housing, all the optics of the reflector gets thrown out the window. You lose your cutoff line and end up causing glare for everyone. As you can see in the picture above, there is no cut-off line. If you're using it for looks, then I suppose it is okay. But if usable light is what you're after, use a halogen bulb that is designed for that housing. Even installing an HID bulb (also outputs in 360 degrees) won't be as good as halogen. The center point and where the light is emitting from on an HID and Halogen bulb is very different. Every millimeter counts. |
I have gone through several set of cheap LED fog lights from China. I must have spent $20!!! Anyway, some went out, some flickered and some were too bright/too blue. So, in my quest to get back to more of an OEM look I went with the warm LEDs listed below. So far they are holding up. But, because I have no faith in their quality I order four lights this time. As a result the first two have held up for several months. These do not match the Litronic headlights but do look more like what came with the car. I would have gone back to the original halogen lights but I have done the fog light hack so they are on all of the time. I was concerned with the heat the 55w create and damaging the lens.
