Default Replaced HID fogs with 9145 LED Bulbs!!

Had my passenger side HID Fog light bulb burn out the other day so instead of spending the $$$$ on new HID bulbs I decided to go with some 9145 LED bulbs I found on ebay for $1, total $6 with shipping . Seems like the HIDs had a slight greenish tint in my fogs whereas these LEDs match up to my 6000k heads perfectly! Also, they don't seem quite as blinding towards other drivers which is just a plus in my opinion. I'll post pics tomorrow, barely got them installed and HIDs (ballasts and all) ripped out when the sun was almost completely down, too dark to snap any pics anyways.

Probably should have waited to post your original until you had pics...

This thread is worthless without them.

Not the best pic, my iPhone camera made them look a little green, but you get the point, perfect match with my 6000k heads, I'll see if I can get a better one this afternoon with my bros Nikon DSLR camera...

You're gonna melt the plastic lens covers. Do a thread search.

The LEDs are supposed to stay cooler than the HIDs that I've had for two years with no problem....

Oh yeah, missed the LED part of the title. Good to go!

btw, do you have a link to the bulbs you bought? Just curious what LEDs get that bright with that bulb spec!

It's all good, but on that note my HIDs never had a problem with getting too hot over the past 2 years that I had them...

This is what the LEDs look like though...
