All I can think about is the glare that oncoming traffic has to deal with now.

 

I am using a set of cheapy OPT7 LED fogs off Amazon.$33

 

After researching this, I'm about convinced that there is no LED drop in bulb that works really well with the stock fog housing. Looking at them from from the front they can appear much brighter, but they do not actually throw light in the focused beam pattern that you would want. The reflector within the stock housing is designed for a halogen bulb, and that's what seems to work best there in terms of lighting performance.

I would love it if there were a really viable drop in LED for the fog light housing, but I haven't seen one that gets great reviews. Your best bet would be the Morimoto fog housing or some have had good luck with one particular brand of 9140 replacement to match the factory HIDs better (I need to search to find which one).

 

Our side-firing XML2 plug and play replacement works quite well with the factory F-150 fog light optics.

Those do look pretty nice! I'll admit, if I had the cash I'd be using Diode Dynamics for all of my LED retrofit uses. I've seen your development videos, and I certainly trust you more than the other cheap chinese options.

That being said, $120 for a pair of LED bulbs in the stock housing is pretty pricey!

 

We always try to price competitively with similar options on the market. We keep it reasonable despite having large investments associated with equipment, personnel (40+ employees), and production machinery here in St. Louis.

I thought the same thing honestly but here is the ad lol

 

Lol no worse than people with pnp hid and actually the glare isn't that bad. The pictures add a little extra

 

Perhaps the bulb is 4300k and it has a yellow film. That is what some want for fogs.

Glare should seem less with yellow unless aimed directly at oncoming cars.

 

My wife said they didn't have a glare on them when she was both facing me and in front of me
