So i Upgraded My $25 Amazon LED Fogs
So like most people one here on of the First things i did to my Truck was add the LED fog light from Amazon that have been recommended by those with the LED headlights.
http://amzn.com/B00N6D7K38 700Lm
Now i don't have the LEDs headlights only the 501a package, so I also up graded my halogens lows with these http://amzn.com/B00X74Y7VO and HIs to these http://amzn.com/B00X74YAJI the XD knock off Phillips Chips
Well after I did that I have been noticing, just how poor the light output on the $25 bulbs are, and wanted something brighter that would fill in the shadows from my new LED low beams. I did a bunch of looking around and decided I liked the Diode Dynamics (XML2) at 1400Lm per side that claim to have twice the output of the $25 ones but i did not really want to drop another $120 on LED bulbs. so I checked around a bit and found these http://amzn.com/B00K6197VG
For $70 and free next day shipping (I'm a Prime member) I thought I would give them a shot.

They Fit fine with very little effort, i went through the wheel well. The passenger popped right in to place but i had to play with the Drivers side to get it in (its my Fog light and not the Bulbs issue).
but WOW the difference in amazing! its like having a 2nd set of headlights, even have a clear beam pattern like the low beams do (and not scattered all over the place). I have not had a chance to drive it yet but just in my Drive way and shining on my garage door its a huge improvement
$25 on the left DD knock off on the right
new
old almost drowned out by my garage light

Excited to the finished project. Make sure to take some shots with one side halogen and other with lights installed. Also, so night shots in various modes.
Guess we literally hit post at the same time!

I ditched my LED fogs and went with the Sylvania Silverstar halogens and never looked back. LEDs in a halogen housing disperses light too much, so less of the light actually hits the road. This is why the tree tops light up when you turn on your LED lights.
Just wait until the fog hits...you won't be seeing much.

Your probably right about the fog, the yellow light of the Halogens would cut through the fog better.
