Default Cheaper LED fog lights replacement! Good for budget

I just found these, they look to be a quality built product. I'm not sure on the life expectancy on these vs the stock oem LED fogs. These are about 80 bucks cheaper than stock. I got my OEM LED fogs a few weeks ago but I figured some of us can use a cheap but good alternative. They have sales often, so maybe just sign up with your email or something.

How is the output on your OEM led fogs? Do they have more output than the OEM halogen(h11)

I have led h11 bulbs for over a year before I upgraded to OEM led fogs so I couldn't tell you. There is a thead. Kind of hard to capture in pics. I personally think the output is decent and the color is amazing. I just love the look of the square LED beam patern vs the round hallogen. Modernized the car a ton.

not bad!

still like the beam on my projector retrofit a little bit better.

However, it is a proper fog light though. I just use mine as an auxiliary beam lol.

Kelvin rating is 5500k apparently.

Just want to point out that they also have excellent HID bulb replacements too and it works with that code as well.

That's a total of 9W per light, not bad for fog lights. LED headlight beam typically runs at around 15W

I got some of these to put in my stock fogs, a friend has them and they have better output than the OEM H11 halogen http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...11-1-pair.html should be a close match to OEM HID
