Damn! I didn't even realize you sold fog light leds! Never mind the ones I posted as I was unsure about them, now I know they actually work as you are selling them.

Are these really bright? Do you think more so than the Phillips ultra vision HID lookalikes?

edit: I just can't find where to buy these bulbs. Could you give me a link? I cant find them on your website.

Must see installed pictures! These look much better than those blue tinted CrystalVision and DiamondVision bulbs, and they look like more less hassle than HID fogs.

in my opinion LED fogs are lame, ive tried em before and while they do get the color right, the light output sucks, and the light doesnt really diffuse so its weak

even though its a pain, HID is the only way to go for that matching look

This is why I'm kind of hesitant to bring these fully to market. The fog housing isn't designed for this kind of lighting and you'll get mad scatter. That's why I always recommend HID.

However, I've had enough people ask me about these that I decided to make em and give it a shot. We've gone through a couple iterations and this is my latest design. I'm currently looking for a test vehicle to put these in and take some pics as my past test vehicle is no longer available. I'd use my car, but it's undergoing some rework currently so not available for a couple weeks. Any local volunteers? Otherwise I'll just wait till I get my car back before I can get some pics.

Not a bad thing, because I would mostly use them in the day, at night I would obviously use the headlights and you can't have the fogs and lowbeams on at the same time. The only time it would look weird is when you unlock the car at night.

I have a set of H7 LED lights that I installed as a corner light. You're welcomed to come and see how it looks on your fogs though!
