LED bulb suggestions?

I was just wondering if anybody has put on some LEDs on their CTs with a maybe over a year on it? I'm not all that familiar with car parts or even brands so I was just wondering if i could get some insight.

Thanks!

I had to swap out the fog lights on my CT200h last year due to a minor fender accident that took out one of the led fog lights. And the led bulbs I bought just three years ago are no longer in production, so in order to match colors I just replaced the fogs led in pairs with new even brighter ones.

For my applications, I would say the led bulbs for the fogs projected the light further and more side coverage and whiter light. I also tested by having my wife drive by me on two lane country roads and confirmed not blindly too bright.

You will find some people will knock you down bc you bought some CCC (Cheap Chinese Crap) lights. But after all the three years so far, I just continue to smile and those folks can continue to spend thousands of dollars with OEM LIGHT HOUSING AND BULBS. Yes, the OEM's are nicer and everything.

I don't have the links handy, but make sure it has A BIG HEAT SINK is FANLESS with NO MOVING PARTS!!!

What specifically are you looking for? LED headlamps? Interior LED's? There are tons of options available on Ebay. I replaced all my interior bulbs with cheap Chinese LED's for a couple of bucks. My only regret is the backup bulbs, LED's just don't cast enough light compared to filament bulbs.
