Default New LED foglights installed

It was pretty simple. I got the kit from Texas LED Light bars (great service). It took about an hour to install. Just popped out the fog light housings, removed the foglights, drilled the hole for the mount, put the LED in, reinstalled the housing, wired it up, and adjusted it. Contact bigburns12 on here, he'll help hook ya up!

I wonder if 2 would fit in one side of my rectangle fogs on my 05?

Probably be a similar mounting set up to what you see for the raptors would be my guess.

The pics don't do them justice. I have them angled pretty far down as well so I don't blind other people.

Looks like a downgrade in performance.

The Lumens might be there, but the projection of the light out far enough isn't.
Kelvin color is the most noticeable change.

If you can't raise them up without blinding oncoming drivers it's definitely a lens projection issue in this product.

Is that just fogs on the left, and then with low beams on the right?

Or before on the right/ after on the left?

If it's option #1 I agree with Creepin, I have these along with a 30" and 10" LED bar up front, and these get drowned out by my low beams, so I am going to remove them and set them up as reverse lights.

How many watts are yours rated for farmboy?

You both just saved me alot of time and effort looking into these LED products.
I suspected the little projection lenses wouldn't do it justice just by looking at them.

Both of my muscle cars are classic GM and I've put all LED bulbs in the entire cars (except headlights).
However, headlights require special (Huge) projector lenses even for HID's.
So it would be safe to assume to THROW the light out far enough, you would need something similar for LED

Not to be a debbie downer, just thanking you both.

The first picture is just the LEDs the second is just headlights. These pictures do terrible justice to the clarity and brightness of the LEDs. You have to also remember these are only 1400 lumen bulbs and I have them angled way down so I don't totally blind on coming drivers. I am extremely happy with them and would highly recomend them.
