Am I missing something here, but I don't see the point of upgrading from the standard halogen fog lights to the LED versions. With the availability of aftermarket LED bulbs, wouldn't it be easier to swap the halogen bulbs for LEDs? If somebody upgraded fog lights, the stock LED bulbs would most likely be swapped out with aftermarket versions anyways.. Can somebody please shed some light (pun intended ) on what is the difference between these two fog light versions..

I agree here. Looks much better without them

I really wish our GS had an all LED front end...

Great job in here guys!

The stock LED foglight has no user replaceable bulb and has a 5000k like color. It's pretty bright (lumens output) and has a nice cutoff. The halogen foglight upgraded to an led bulb may appear bright looking head on but it's lumens output on the ground will be pretty low and dim. The led foglights are functional, they actually light up the road directly in front to the car. Halogen foglights fitted with led bulbs may look good but are not too functional, they barely light up the road in front of the car.

Since F-Sports don't come with fogs I had the option of getting standard halogen or LED fogs. I loved the clean cutoff and cooler (5000K) color of the LEDs so I chose them instead.

Same reason why I went with led fogs as well
The led foglights are only a few more dollars over halogen.

Ok, so a lot of people don't have fogs to begin with. If you were going to buy new fogs, i can see getting the LED ones then. I also see that the LED have better light output. Thanks for clarifying.

I have halogen fogs already, so buying the new LED fogs seems a bit extreme if I can find some replacement bulbs for much cheaper but I'm thinking there aren't many aftermarket LED bulbs that would fit into the halogen housing..

Anyone would like to retrofit a series of micro led hid into the current plastic housing? Put it on the edge like the concept gs.

Browse around VLEDS and IJDMTOY. They have some pretty bright ones available. They are a bit expensive though. The H11s I believe are close to $100 a pair.

Thanks yardie! Just founds some VLEDs H11 5000K's for $60/pair. May pull the trigger on these..

Quick question... Is the fog lamp main harness connector found under the dash or in the engine bay?

Just installed my VLED 5K LED fog bulbs and they look good with the stock HID bulbs. One thing though is that with aftermarket bulbs, the light doesn't have cut off like the OEM LED bulbs do.

If you already have the fog housing, you don't need to buy an entire LED fog housing lights with the bulbs, you can just get the replacement LED bulbs. As others have demonstrated, the LED fog housing has a nice "cut-off" line like the HIDs, but to me fog lights are not met to be used as primary headlights anyway, they are just auxiliary lights, and I just wanted to match the fog lights color close to my OEM HIDs.

(included instructions on how to install the bulbs, you should take out the entire fog housing so you don't risk of breaking anything).

As far as pricing is concerned, you quoted $60/pair from VLED. Look at KBcarstuff.com, same bulbs, but cheaper. They do take about a week to ship to your house though. I am pretty happy with them so far.

Correct, see my post above. I installed aftermarket LED bulbs into an existing halogen fog light assembly. Originally I didn't realize why so many would want the OEM LED fogs when the only difference is the bulb (from what I understand), but quickly realized some cars aren't equipped with them.

I bought the H11 VLED 5,000K bulbs. I agree, I don't need the cut off as stated by others. I was looking for the lights to match the headlights more than anything, but can definitely tell there is more output from these bulbs at night.

I actually had a very easy time installing these bulbs and did not have to modify anything as you stated in your linked post. I only took out two of the fender clips and one screw on the bottom of the bumper. Then I was able to pull out the fender lining just enough to get my hand in there and uninstall the bulbs. No modification necessary, purely plug and play - as it should be. I didn't even have to turn my wheels. The whole procedure took me 10 minutes tops.
