i was looking at this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2400LM-50W-H11-BULBS-SUPER-WHITE-CREE-LED-HID-KIT-HEADLIGHT-LAMP-W-FANS-BALLAST-/161433500170?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item25962fba0a&vxp=mtr
or this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/331314613682?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&var=540508775768&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
but most likely just go with these if you guys have negative reviews of LED bulbs
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Philips-H11-CrystalVision-Ultra-Headlight-Bulb-2-Pack-/111405115565?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19f04328ad&vxp=mtr
thanks for any input.

Eric.

I cant say much about LED fog lights but I went for the Halogen HID bulbs. They look really nice and match the bi-xeon headlight and LED eyelids.

Got me! Yeah mine are H11 but I normally post H7 links on here because most people have the sport model.

Umm well I would double check. I had bought the H7 first but once I tried to install them, I saw that I had H11 so I had to return H7 and get the new ones. Which ever one you have (H7/H11) these bulbs are good.

Sport models (round fogs) are h7, lux models (oval fogs) are h11. As for led fogs, the first link you posted, units that operate similar to his (ballast/fans) are brighter, however as with most LEDs, limited to how far they can shine.

Thanks to your post, I replaced my burnt out factory bulb with these Philips Diamond Vision. You can see the difference!
