Anyone know anything about LED fog lights?

Found these while lookin around. To me it seems like LEDs wouldn't have enough light output/wouldn't be able to project the light far enough. Any opinions or experience? This is the first I have ever heard of them. Kind of a cool idea, just not sure if they would work.

 

never had any experience with those exact fog lights but all of the LED fog lights i've ever seen are pathetic. you're way better off with regular bulbs.

 

Thats kind of what I figured, just thought I'd ask..

 

Anyone use these/have pics of them on a thirdgen? Just wondering what they looked like from a looks standpoint as I know they are not effective for actually lighting.

 

Those aren't any good to see with. They're marketed as daytime running lights, which they're well suited for.

 

I have some. Just about pointless, but when i have the headlights off, and all other lights on it looks pretty cool.

I have an 87 base coupe firebird and they are mounted under the bumper vertically aligned with the running lights.
i think it looks sick IMO

I'll try and get some pics..

 

I know that, I said that, I wanted pics to see what they look like STRICTLY from a looks standpoint.

Thanks V6, they seem like they would look pretty sweet!

 

I dont think that they would be as dimme as you think- but depends on how they are made. There are different LED's for different types of lighting.
These are mine- DIY LED Fog Lights and although they are blue (color) they light the road way pretty well, so if they were white light in stead I would say that they are fairly bright-but alot more of a clean light.

But that is just my thought



by the way I have a total of 12 LED in each Fog Light- that too will make a differance.

I vote to try them.

 

thanks BlackTopKing, thats the kind of feedback I'm looking for! Looks pretty sick on your car! I like it. I'm thinkin of gettin them more for a looks thing than an actual fog light, it won't get driven in bad weather anyway. I just wish i could find them in a bigger rectangle like the stock Iroc lenses.

 

Just take the fog lights off the car, remove the cover and set up your own. I will try to take a pic of a close up of how mine are. You can jump the wiring so that they turn on and off on the stock switches as I did as well.

Either way you could also insert backgrounds behind the LED's, mirror finish to make brighter-white black....what ever you want.
That will make it cleaner looking give you something to mount the LED's to and still keep the stock asst together incase one day you change your mind.

To be honest- I dont drive on bad weather day's either- and have not in years. I dont even remeber if the stock fogs did any good in fog.... LOLOL

 

Haha, the whole reason I am looking at fog lights is because my stock ones are crap. The lense on one side is broken and the surround ring is totally rusted. And the other side the lense and retainter ring are missing...I thought about buying some of the el cheapo wal mart ones that look kind of like stock ones and modifying them with some LED boards in them or something.

 

I understand, the sizing might run you into a problem-

But this is the set up as I promised

 

Is that a stock housing? looks pretty good!
