Any 9006 LED fog Bulbs that acutally work?
Like the title says does anyone know of any 9006 Fog light LED bulbs that work without errors? Ebay is littered with them but when searching on here I get old results of people having issues and putting in resistors.

So does anyone know of any that work?

TIA

Eric

Absolutely! I've been using them for some time and they are quite bright. Not as bright as the 80W halogens I had. Got 'em out of Germany, but they are also available in the U.S. You will need an CAN BUS adapter cable too.

here's an Amazon link for the CAN BUS adapters and just search Amazon for the 9006 LED bulbs.
Amazon Amazon

I posted the info a few weeks ago. I'll add it to this post when I find it or you can just search my recent posts.

You needed the CAN BUS adapter. I found the standard fogs did not improve nighttime vision, so I simply opted for the LED DRL look.

Same here, and I can drive without the headlights on because they are so bright.
