Default V-LED Conversion Project - PIC HEAVY

Over the next few weeks / months I will be replacing all of my regular filament bulbs with LED bulbs. I have done some looking around on-line and have chosen to go with V-LEDs.com for all of my LED's. I will be doing my conversion using the 5K colored bulbs as I want to mimic the factory HID lights.

First up is the Fog Lights:

XB High Power
- 850 LM total output
- 10X5W XB Chip, 8 Radial and 2 Forward
- Perfect fitment, easily replaces old dull filament bulbs
- Powerful output, with a new refined look
- Minutes to install with stunning results
- One of the best appearance upgrades you can make to your vehicle
- Upgrade to the new look of LED






I will post some night shots once the sun goes down.

I've got my cart loaded up on VLED's website to replace the fog lights, map lights, dome light, cargo light, license plate lights, and reverse lights. I have a '13 King Ranch with HID headlights. I'm just waiting to see your experiment and input! All of this for my truck is around $140 shipped-sound right?

Adding this to my to do list if it turns out good. I put LEDs on my motorcycle and it was a huge difference.

Well I cannot figure out how to post pictures from my phone, but I must say I really do like these fog lights. They match the color of the factory HID's almost exactly! I will post my before and after pictures a little bit later once I get to my laptop.

Sounds bout right, most op are paying 55.00 a pr for fog, and reverse Cree leds! So 110.00 plus 30.00 for the rest interior and ext. Leds, yup pretty spends when all done!

Ok here are some cell phone pictures I was able to take tonight.

Stock fogs:



V-LEDs 5,000K fogs:



Headlight Comparison with and without flash:



Overall, I am very impressed with these LED fogs. They match the factory HID's almost exactly! They are by no means a replacement to the headlights, but they are super bright! I specially like they way they fill in the gap between the light itself and the output on the factory halogen bulbs.
