Default Alternative to HID in the Fog lights

Have you seen these?



http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

They are H1 LED bulbs. If you didnt want to do the custom fabrication to fit HIDs in the foglights, they may be an option. Of course, it wont be as bright as HID but an easier solution.

I might buy some for my Hi-Beams. I currently have Luminics Pure Blue bulbs in my Hi-Beams right now and I hate how you could see the "blue" from the bulb reflecting on the head lamp housing.

I'm placing my order today, I'll take some pics once I install them.

Yeah, a buddy of mine had those in his fogs on his mazda.. wasn't so crazy about them. If you'd like, send me your foglight housings and an HID kit and I'll do the work.

Thanks for the offer, but I've already completed the installation (using your method) of an 8000K HID Kit in my fogs. I still need to take some photos at night of them.

Oh, damn... I suck at reading. Sorry. I thought you were talking about your fogs.

Carry on!

I'm not sure about the 05, but I know that the 02-03 has H1's in the fogs

UPDATE

The bulbs didnt fit in the small clearance of the hi-beam housing. The actual LED bulb was too wide to fit, so I'm returning them today.

If you have a 2002-2003 and you dont want to hassle with custom mod. your fog lights then this maybe an option.
