Has anyone tried these bulbs?

Been thinking about seeing how well they work. For $40, it wouldn't be breaking the bank.

I've never seen these. Intetested to see if they will work.... I doubt it. Not liking the spade connectors.

I saw that, too, but figure I could get some insulated terminals wired with Weatherpack connectors that ought to do fine with the new wiring I installed. My biggest concern is to whether or not these will secure to the lamp housing.

I am interested in LED fog lights as well. What have MM owners used? Anyone have any pics with the product info?

Sign me up; tired of having to spend $40 on HID bulbs...

I haven't found LEDs that are brighter than 35 or 55w HIDS.

Most LEDs require modification to the fog light housing. HID bulbs require slight modifications to work.

I am interested in LED headlights and driving lights because one of my work vehicles has them and they're quite brilliant and the light dispersion is similar to HID. The HID kit in my car has hi/lo and fog lamps and is a little over 10 years old. There seems to be a lot of justified opposition about retrofits in incandescent housing due to reflective characteristics and the legality of some colors. In my experience mine have a nice control of light and a defined horizon that does seem not blind oncoming drivers. I am curious about the performance of LED's and would jump on a total replacement to get rid of the old stuff that's been leading my way for 10 years. Here's a picture of my HID's to underscore the light output.

If anyone has an uninstalled fog light housing can you get the diameter and depth in millimeters and post them up.

It's not just the diameter & depth. It's the mounting that is different. The bulb needs to fit into a slot.

I understand that, I'm just asking for the external overall diameter and depth of the housing in millimeters.

Those are the fog lights that come with a HALOGEN bulb. We're talking LEDs here...

try to keep up.

Thanks for pointing that out but led conversions are made for those foglights and a better foglight housing is available at CARID for more money.

Universal garbage.

Agreed. $40 per year for perfect fog lights is worth it to me.

I agree - CARID has beautiful pictures and enticing product offers which are far too often low to poor quality. The Retrofit Source (https://www.theretrofitsource.com/) is your friend.

Personally, I'm not looking for anything super bright. I'd be happy with something comparable in output to the halogens I've used. Since my headlights and parking lamps have all been converted to LED, I wanted the fogs to match. I bought a pair of LED H1 bulbs that are a direct swap for the standard bulbs, but the output was so terrible that they were overpowered by the switchback bulbs I bought from Jim. Couldn't even tell they were on unless I looked directly at the lamps.

These ones seem better designed to spread light, which I think should have close to halogen output in these lamps. And for $40, it wouldn't hurt to see how well they work. I'm just not certain about fitment, specifically how they would remain mounted in the lamp. They don't connect to the socket, and I'm not certain if the lamo would have to be modified to keep them in.

If all of this is really just a pipe dream, though, the next best thing would probably be to just get a new pair of lamps and have them converted into projectors. Go from there.

I made a set of 2015-17 Mustang LED foglights work in my car. There should be photos in my photobucket if you can get to it.
