Best LED fog light bulbs?

Looking for a set of LED bulbs to put into my fog lights to match my HIDs and DRLs for my 2007 E550. The halogen fog lights look ugly, and it’s baffling that a car of this caliber didn’t come with HIDs standard. They’re standard on my brothers S2000, and my buddy’s 2008 Mazda Mazda 6 has them stock. If anyone can link me a good set of H11 LEDs for the fog lights, that would be appreciated. Thanks

I have liked these so much I have them in both my headlight H7 sockets & fog light H11 sockets. Headlights won't flash though, canbus doesn't like that feature for some reason. I leave headlights set to automatic anyways so stay on 6500k as DRLs by day & headlights by night.

So what size are they? I’ve never heard of lights that work in both h7 and h11 sockets, but maybe I’ll give them a try. Also, what did you mean by not being able to flash your headlights? Do you mean the high beams? I still have the regular halogen bulbs for my high beams and don’t plan on changing them since I rarely use the high beams until some ******* in an oncoming car has theirs on. Thanks for the link

The bulbs are made in multiple sizes to fit both H7 & H11 but you have to specify what you want when you order them. The lights are programmed to change color frequency when turned off/on quickly & 3rd preset will then blink lights on & off @3000 K frequency but vehicle's interior canbus will interrupt that process after 2 or 3 flashes & then reset lights to 6500k constant ON. The highbeam lights are separate H7 sockets & like you I don't use them enough to justify replacing them with LED.
