    I have been searching for a good set of LED fog light bulbs ever since I installed the fog light kit on my car when I bought it.

    I have tried different LED bulbs and the current ones will be replaced with these.

    Will upload installation pictures later. 20240324_150137.jpeg 20240324_150150.jpeg

    actully, I think I am wrong, those were the first ones I tried and the light beam I think didn't look right with my LED Projectors so the ones I ended up getting has a projector style light bender I guess you can call it that matched my headlights better.

    Installed the new LED fog lights and got a bonus!

    On top of upgrading the LED light pattern the cracked lens was replaced with this LED upgrade versus changing out the LED bulb and still having the cracked lens. 20240403_113201.jpeg 20240403_113223.jpeg 20240403_113600.jpeg 20240403_113237-1.jpeg 20240403_113437.jpeg 20240403_113445.jpeg 20240403_114303.jpeg

    How's the illumination, compared to stock?

    I'm sure they're much whiter and brighter than the OEM halogen bulbs.

    However, they don't have any type of cutoff to limit high angle glare, which defeats their use as "foglights".

    Azusa, park facing straight on to a flat wall about 30 ft away. With your lowbeam headlights on, observe the cutoff where the bright light is limited above. Then turn on your "foglights" and see how the previously darker section of wall is now illuminated. That is annoying high angle glare that will irritate, or worse blind, the driver's in front of or approaching you.

    Judging by the blindness I experience after meeting just about everybody else on the highway, it's not how everybody else seems to think.
