Do you guys think that this LED will have better results than the others that people here at the board have tried??

Yep, thats what I thought from reading all of the bulb posts here recently. I was hoping that this 'new' bulb from Polarg might be different than the other LED's that other board members have tried. I went ahead and ordered them so I will let everyone know how it goes. It was $24 with shipping so no big loss if they don't work or if they don't work well. My only question is that I could not find out how many watts they were anywhere??

yeah, most LEDs don't tell u how many watts they are... and if they do, its not really accurate... most of those JDM companies just make up a number that sounds good and write it there so it tempts you to buy their product.
and yes, please do post your findings, WITH before and after pictures...

I got a message that they have shipped. I WILL borrow my friends digital camera and do before and after pics. I recently installed my PIAA fogs and they are much whiter and brighter than any of the other aftermarket fogs I have seen. I really am not too concerned with the brightness because the xenon is bright enough. I am just trying to get the fogs, driving lights, and xenon's to be similar colors.

I don't know why I thought that I would have any better luck than any of the other board members that have tried the led's. Let it be known that LED's are not a good bulb for our driving lights unless you like BLUE lights. I had to grind a knob off of the bulb in order to get it in the socket. This is interesting: With one led installed and one city light I turned on the lights. No Lamp Malfunction error. After installing the second led I got a Lamp Malfunction error. I am not posting any picture of all of the lights with the led's because they are deceiving in that the lights all look about the same color. But believe me they are far from the same color. Oh, the other thing is that these are not the stock city lights. They are Phillips Blue Vision h6w. They are about 8% whiter than stock and no brighter. One other note, the fogs are PIAA extreme white.
