    Those of you with fog lights to match the LED's

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I was just curious, what kind of bulbs do you guys run to match the color of the fog lights to the LED DRL's? I'm trying to find a good color match but don't know where to start.

    If I wanted to match my headlights as well what HID's would you all recommend?

    Re: Those of you with fog lights to match the LED's

    I would recommend these as a perfect match to the LED DRL lights:

    These will result i an alert, but you can easily fix this by adding a resistor to it.

    This also results, in they are useless as actual fog lights.

    Well, I think foglights are useless anyways. When can you really say: "Oh, I am so glad I have the foglights... they are so useful right now"? Foglights are for looks and show, nothing else.

    I used these LED bulbs in a car I had several years ago. I think they were perfect. Picture:

    They come in handy in extremely dense fog, where the low beams (HIDs or not) can reflect back and blind you. This is where good fogs come in handy-- mounted low, you can still sort of see in front of you without blinding yourself (fogs+parking lights, no low beams)

    At times I do have drive in extremely dense fogs, and I am glad to have fog lights.

    However, yes, in most conditions, fogs are pretty much useless.

    Any H11 HID-kit with 8000K should do it?

    I matched them with Hoen lights because they come on with the going away function when you lock your car with lights in auto mode.

    They match the DRL's alot better than stock fogs...
