I ordered the exact same fog lights and had them installed yesterday......they are super bright!.....so bright in fact that I'm wondering if they're street legal?? I live in So CA and don't know the laws here and don't want to get pulled over for blindly people.....any comments??

I've always had bright headlights and fogs in my cars and never once had an issue. But I'm also not in California.

Made some pieces fit to fill 2 of the 4 holes in my bumper and painted them with touch up paint. Not sure if they will hold the paint or popnoff durle to being flexible plastic. Time will tell I guess.

got a carbon roof spoiler in and on today. Was undecided how they looked in pics so I just bought it to see in person and luckily I think it works well because it blends in. The carbon color and weave is really close to all my other carbon as well which is good.

How does that style of a roof spoiler help with aerodynamics? That style does the complete opposite for air flow streamlining. Or is it just a fashion statement?

At the speed where aerodynamics come into play we aren't driving these cars, especially ones that are daily driven. So help or hurt, it won't be noticed at 45 miles an hour driving to work.

Oh I guess that is true. I go triple digits on certain highways so anything that can help streamline airflow is my friend.

I doubt you would even notice it on or around 100, but I guess I'll find out.

origial on left, OSRAM on right

both OSRAM in


no lights

fogs only

headlights and fogs

brights and fogs


showing color difference, they are warmer then i prefer
I would get the OSRAM 7000. Their look is so much better. They are pure white with a very slight hint of blue so they will match your fogs better, don’t pay attention to the box because they are not blue and the light output is strong

What LEDs did you use for you reverse lights? The ones I bought fall out of the plug.

Washed the car Friday night, this was this morning. Glad to see the mud guards doing their job.
