LED's Fog ligth bulbs

Hello guys,

Does anyone know what type of LED bulbs I can get for the fog lamps and where I can order them from? I want to match them as close as possible to the angel eyes which are white.

Thanks!

I have many LED options at my disposal thanks to our ties with HPB and I still prefer the HID kit because of the output.

That being said, whats your budget and how bright do you want?

I prefer HID's as they are brighter in my own opinion... My question is, will a set of HID's throw any codes or no?


Thanks!

Thanks!
Yes.

You'll have to remove the "check for burned bulbs" by coding this check out.
You'll then lose the ability to be warned that the fog bulbs are out.

Also, bear in mind that this is an illegal modification that gives you no practical benefits other than be more aesthetically pleasing (if that's your taste). You'll also be running with bright lights that affect oncoming cars (dazzling).

Cheers!

Your probably need to code your car so that they turn off the Hot/Cold bulb checks on the Fogs (or any bulb that has an LED). You also should code the car so the fog lights come on Hard rather than Soft.

It's either that or get dimmable LED's

Ever thought about trying these: https://www.lifetimeledlights.com/
