First legit LED fog replacement for Tahoe Yukon (maybe)

[99_Yukon]

I know those projectors very well, i used to have a pair to retrofit at some point. They're metal so you should be fine heat wise. I also think these bulbs are perfect for this application.

Thanks for the info Serge. They have been purchased and I will update when they arrive. I have very high hopes as I have bought LEDs for fogs before an there was no useable forward light.

Oh boy, no one has ever taken my advise before ... this could backfire.

I hope they work well Derek, pics when it happens pretty please.

I have zXe Sylvania bulbs that I am happy with currently.

It is a visually brighter and whiter light.

Hey I've bought plenty of junk before, I won't blame you. Just add it to the pile in my garage!

And yes, pics will come

Derek, the only thing I can think of that might impede the light is the built cutoff shield inside the projector. Try it as it is first and if you're disappointed with the output you can always try to remove it. But I remember when I had them in hand sticking a powerful led flashlight through the bulb hole and the output coming out the front was very good. This bulb should have the same effect. Can't wait to see it, cause a bunch of GM vehicles share that fog lamp, it could be a good mod for all of them. Or it could be god awful.

i would get these but i lost some of the function of my fogs. Plus my hid is still working fine and my 25w still has not melted my housings.

Not true sir, love the advice you gave me about s2000 projectors

 

[soulsea]

lol, you're not helping by raising Derek's expectations when I'm trying to get them to their lowest possible level. Sheesh!

Serge is the TYF lighting Master.

He knows everything and is never wrong.

Talk about backfire lol! I have read a lot of your posts Serge and you have very useful information. I trust what you have to say as it seems you do a lot with led lighting.

Not cheap apparently, a quick PN search came back with a site selling them for $130 a pair, also a few sets on ebay.

So I see the "H8" variety LED bulb is making its way to other sockets. H8 bulb is used on last generation BMW angel-eyes/DRL; they use a module LED chip now = non-DIY-friendly replace bulb just like all other OEMs LED stuff coming out.

Found out that Osram/Sylvania is making LED foglight for Ford that 'could be' retrofitted to other vehicles with round foglights. I've PM Soulsea the link as he knows what to do it.

Actually this is what Faites777 is talking about: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-MUSTAN...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20cb8fd51d

These things would be a fantastic replacement solution, but I'm thinking they're a little too big for our trucks.
