Yea, I have melted my stock fog light housing with the HIDs now and would love to try these. They are definitely worth it as long as they don't melt the housing and produce enough light.

CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM!

Just placed an order for a pair through Amazon, $126.49 with shipping. Hopefully they work!!

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.


I have the Cree LED's and think they are great! Most cannot even tell there are not HID's......

Btw, I don't think you need that resistor if the mrs' truck doesn't have a 'bulb out' feature for the fogs. Unless it's actually easier to assemble it with the resistor than without it.

The order I placed, I placed without the resistors. I understood from the first post that, with our vehicles, I don't need it?

No resistor needed for Tahoe/Yukon fogs.

I thought the resistors protect the led from high current?

The LED Resistor is specifically for newer cars equipped with Bulb Out Warning Systems. Since LED bulbs have no filament, the warning system will think the bulb is burned out and a error message will be displayed on the instrument panel. With the resistor installed, the warning system will be "fooled" into thinking an incandescent bulb is installed and working properly so there will be no warning light.

I know the Z71 fog is different from the Yukon/Tahoe so does anyone see any problems fitting these into the Z71?

Thanks,

Is it just the shape of the housing that's different or also the bulb?
Basically does it use 5202 bulbs for fogs?

The housing is different. Bulb is the same.
