Fog lights upgrade?

[chevync]

I just noticed one of my fog light lense is missing, do they make a different style housing? Most I find are cheap made. 2003 Escalade.

I ended up going with some like these, they fit in a rectangular slot and can be wired up to the factory harness, water tight.
just had to use the factory light bracket and make a hole in it for the bolt.

I think they're all pretty much the same. Oem or aftermarket. I took mine out and rrplaced them with led fogs.

Nice. I see they're made by Cree. How long have they been on? Did they get moisture inside of them yet?

The one's I originally bought were 2 row but these are basically the same thing I had 2 set's on my NBS for a couple years before i sold it and they never got any moisture in them and they worked perfect I sold it almost 2 years ago and I last saw it about 6 months ago and there were still running nice and bright I had one set setup as DRL and I don't think the new owner changed anything. my ex has a set on here 04 suburban and they still work and never have got any moisture in them. the oem fog lights are a poor design they wouldn't go 6 months without being 1/2 full of blinker fluid and burning the bulb out because of it.
these ones are a closer match to what I originally purchased, the ones above are probably just a newer design, either way they are super bright even in daylight you cant look into them for more than a second without being blinded, lol

the round ones I bought for the nnbs last year have gone up a $100 and are currently sold out.

for the price either set is a steal

I should've gotten some Crees.

I should've gotten some Crees.

first thing I tried for a while was some sealed projectors but those were basically a joke, I was skeptical about getting the led's because the ones I had used before as DRL's and the ones that are like a strip in the lower turn signal housing all didn't put out much light at all so I was pleasantly surprised when I tried one out of the box with a power tool battery I was like holy crap! then I thought for sure they would take a dump soon but they held up, even survived a couple fender benders without a scratch, only thing that happened was the plastic oem fog light brackets snapped off so I just bought some cheap $20 oem type fog lights and tossed them and used the brackets they came with to re-mount the led's

I did the same as mentioned above. These are the ones I got:



I also got those H11 pigtails so the LED wiring could match up with the factory plug. Only gripe is the paint has chipped over time

Could you conduct a power draw test on those? I'm curious if they're actually 36w units. I have a pretty major distrust of aftermarket LED lights
