LED's in Fog Lights

Hey guys. I bought these city lights (position lights) and they appear to be a perfect match for the stock hid low beams and are error free like the license plate lights I installed from the same company. My question is, I bought these led fog lights with the added resistors to cancel the error in dash, but am not sure if they will be too bright? What do you guys think?

I know they will not be a sharp cutoff like hid's or go as far down the road, but they should at least but out decent light and match my low beam hid's and city lights.

Anybody try these 68smd lights in their fogs?

i got em, there not too bright.plus u dont have 2 always leave em on. i leave my lights on auto, but i turn on my fogs on the highway, to get a ncie wide view. i got 8000k's. u dont need the error cancelers for the fogs. bc they dont come up on the dash. but u should use a cap/resistor to make sure they'll never flicker..

yeah I bought the resistor to make sure I have no issues, plus it was only $10. Did you get the 68smd lights in your fog's? Also, do your fogs from ijdmtoy match your city lights that you got as far as color? Thanks!

I used these ones below. They are very bright and are a good match! Highly recommend the company, I have ordered from them the past two years without issue for led lighting inside the car and outside.

I have the "superstar" LED from autolumination.com in my car, and it looks incredible. Perfect match for the HIDS, and has a built in heatsink. Had to wire resistors on my own though (easy for the city lights)

see below:

gonzjed those are indeed the white ones. The blue ones are almost purple looking so you want to stay away from those, unless your into that type of thing, lol.

I just ordered the City lights for my 2003 E320. I'm stoked. Thanks for the find. Can you post the link for the License plate lights you bought that have been working? Thanks.

Here is the link below, but I think pyspeed.com is selling them for like $40 or something which is a great deal! I bought mine from ijdmtoy though just because I know there quality is the best and sometimes when comparing lights they look the same for cheap copies.
