I know these are just bulbs, but what are y'all doing to them to ensure they don't pop loose? On an old Jeep that I replaced the bulbs on, every bump I hit, seemed like they would pop loose. Any tips? Thanks

I can only vouch for the 6 weeks I've had them. No problems, better light projection, and they match my hid's.
On a side note, I was getting flashed by oncoming drivers. I think there was such a contrast between the stock fog light and the hid's... people thought my high beams were on. That has stopped.

I got mine out into the country last night and was a bit impressed. They trow more light down and out to the sides than I thought. (Exactly what a fog is supposed to do)

I would suggest getting them, but they certainly aren't earth changing

Agreed.

I got mine to match my HID's until I get around to retrofitting something into my fog lights. Probably some JW Speaker Fog lights.

These look good but also look really bright. Curious for those of you that are running them, are you getting flashed by other drivers? I want to get something to match the HID's that I'm putting in but I don't want to blind everyone on the road. Thanks in advance!

Wait, [MENTION=87506]masitile[/MENTION], you were saying that you were getting flashed by oncoming drivers with the OEM halogens fogs, and that now that you have LEDs that has stopped right?

I think [MENTION=139317]jsheere[/MENTION] was asking if you're getting flashed with the LEDs now installed in place of the halogens.
