30W H11 5000k LED bulbs using CREE diodes. Use coupon code CLLED to save 15% upon checkout!

These are true 5000k bulbs. The color will be pure white and a perfect match for OEM HID low beams.

You can go with an LED bulb for the DRL however we do not sell them in 9006. In many cases vehicles use the same 9005 bulb for the high beams and when upgrading the DRL bulb to LED you effectively lose your high beam functionality.

Yup. It's a great way to match your OEM HID low beams without upgrading your fog lights with an HID kit.

IMO LED is a great way to see the fog.

and my opinion is based on facts and stuff I've done.

lol. Our 5k color seems to be pretty popular as most vendors just offer 6000k. 5000k will be a pure white which is very very very close to OEM HID.

I do notice that when my low beams first come on they do have a slight purple tint to them just like the 5k XB bulbs, but after a few seconds the purple tint goes away and there just white which makes the 5k SMT bulb a closer match.

Do you have a link for these VLed 28 LED SMT? I searched under the 194/168 led's but don't know which one is which. Thanks in advance.

I don't see the 5K 28 led bulb, only the 6K 28 led bulb. I'm not sure how close those would match.

Check out the Philips Bluevision 194 LED wedge bulb if you want something with a crisp white output.

Thanks for the info Steve. I'm going to get the H11 30w LEDs for my fogs. Seems like a good alternative to getting an HID kit.

No problem at all. Remember, upgrading your fog lights to LED is going to be a cosmetic upgrade. If you want to increase your actual light output, I would suggest going with an HID kit.
