Don't care about the intended use of fogs for fog,but just want more light output. Which are the brightest?

Fordfan2006

why not? That's the whole point of them. So you can see the road lines in fog. Plus they'll probably blind people. Get some good halogen bulbs they'll be nice and white not blind people and be useful.

The HID ones

If you want LEDs for the look, I hear you I'm the same way. If you want something bright and really functional, find yourself a good pair of yellow bulbs. Those will cut through the fog.

Morimoto LED

Yep.

^^ note the drop-down fer bulbs has a 3000K option.



Now - I suppose you could try these - at least they are of some quality without gimmicky and useless little fans, braided pigtails an' sich. With genuine Lu specs. Most all the other LED offerings are total, over-rated garbage.

Note that, in both cases you WILL be incurring Massive, uncontrolled foreground lighting. This will affect yer distance vision. So be aware, and Don't over-drive them.

Note also that yer biggest challenge - given where the fog housings live - will be keeping the assemblies free of water intrusion (and in the case of LEDs, the heatsink free of spooge , which will KILL heat dissipation and toast them in short order).For the HID's, perhaps incorporate a housing cap, and don't spare the silicon dielectric.

Lastly - other alternatives besides a drop-in replacement bulb: retrofit some projectors, or Rigid DOT cubes. And of course, dedicated TRS XB LED fogs, lol.

I'm awfully partial to my Morimoto XB LED fog lights. They match the pure white light of my Lariat's LED headlights, have high quality heat sinked aluminum housings and are weathertight.

If you want brightness then do the rigid brackets and either 4 DOT pods, or 4 driving series sr pods(not the wides)

I have hids, and I am switching to this setup because hids aren't reliable, I've been running hids for 8 years on various different vehicles, and every winter I have issues with either bulbs, ballasts or grounds. For example, right now my drivers side doesn't work on my 2015. You also have to run a relay harness and a capacitor for them to even work on a 2015+.

MGD

^^^ I've been running them for at least as long - without a single issue. Yes ... in the GWN, lol.

It revolves around (1) quality components (e.g. NO DDM junk or similar), (2) exemplary install and wiring practices, and (3) liberal use of silicon dielectric.

ANY HID install should be using a specific relay harness; and you can get one that is compatible with the 2015+ trucks, so also a non-issue.

BUT - I'm also not condoning the use of a non-DOT system in the fogs, and I did mention Rigids.

However, I'm just answering the OP question's as asked; no judgement.

Agreed, as I have DDM crap, don't ever deal with those guys, worst customer service and even worse product, I went as far as BBB against them and after the manager had some clever words with them, BBB didn't take me seriously even though I documented everything.

Hids do have great output, but I think 4 rigid pods will be brighter on those new brackets.
