Looking For the Brightest Possible LED Fog Light to Fit in Stock Housing

[cmm221]

How are the lights holding up. Do you have any pictures to see what the beam looks against a wall. Thinking of doing this to my Tahoe. Thanks

They are great not going anywhere at all. Let me snap some pictures tonight and post them

Thoughts on these bulbs? Too much for the little stock housings maybe? I don't think heat would be an issue with these.

If anyone is still curious about simple bulb replacements I ordered these bulbs and I'm very impressed with them. They're bright as hell and I can finally tell the difference when the fog lights are on. I might even order the ones for my low beams. They seem like really good quality and I'm not worried about them getting damaged. I can post some pics if someone wants to see.

I'd like to see some pictures

I was hoping the pictures would do more justice but if you pay attention to the light output it's better than before. They're basically like having a second pair of low beams.
Only fogs
Both lows and fogs

Like I said, I'm really impressed with these bulbs. You can't tell in the pictures but when the fogs are on I can see down into the ditches. Hope this helps.

You weren't kidding when you said they were bright as hell. That's really impressive I've got to get me some of those. Thanks man

Yea to get a legit beam you have to spend the money and get a full kit. If you just get a regular 60 led or whatever bulb ($20) they'll be just as bright as your turn signals. I've tried those too as was not impressed.

A full kit it what Justinj360 got ($100+). It comes with a ballast and added wiring. These are super bright with a nice color. Some come with colored covers that slide over the bulb-blue, yellow, red, green, exc.

But even today they are still not as bright as hids. But they're catching up pretty fast.

They were simple plug and play. They come with a couple of extra wiring harnesses for certain cars but they weren't needed for mine. Just the plug in ballast was needed with the bulb.

I just remembered I also bent that metal piece inside the fog light housing up out of the way and then flattened it out as much as I could. I think that helps some too.

Gotta do he same for hids. Just a bit too long
I actually baked mine and removed the guard. Worth the time and effort.

Is there no need for relays? HIDs in my other car needed a relay or risk burning stuff up. Do they LEDs not use much power is why?

I'm no expert but I think they use a good amount of power as they are 60W. They came with ballasts, "ECM Capacitors" and "Polarity flip adapters". I tried both of the two extra ones separately and the lights wouldn't turn on. I haven't seen anything about a relay for these but I know what you're talking about with HID relays.

Where did you mount the ballasts?

Where did you mount the ballasts?

I ziptied them to the bumper bracket above the housing. I placed the zipties over the wires coming off each side of the ballast so they wouldn't melt. I'm sure they get pretty hot.

So what i did was used a Ebay 6in cree LED light bar, My factory fog light housing was already busted missing the lens. I popped out the little bulb shield inside of it and used a longer bolt on the LED mount and mounted it to where the bulb would hook up to the back side of fog light housing. pretty simple, clean look and you can just splice LED lights into factory fog light wiring and don't have to worry about running any wires.

I just did this mod this weekend and it turned out great! Probably the best $25 modification I've ever made. These lights are BRIGHT! Here's a shot with the fogs ONLY, no headlights at all:

So thanks again for posting this, it was a big help since my factory fogs were toast anyway.

I don't want to be that guy, but man, those fogs need an adjustment. they are aimed way to high.....
