Default LED fog lights

Has anyone tried replacing the stock fog light bulbs with LED lights? Here's a link to what I'm thinking about 880 Daytime Running Lights | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs

It is good option to do the replacement of fog light with the LED light. But I heard that it provide a poor light outputs.high power LED fog light, can replace H3 halogen bulb

If you get a decent bulb, you'll have some output, but don't expect a lot, since they are just going to be LEDs. Some of the higher wattage LEDs have good output.

this type of LED is extremely bright, but you obviously pay for it also.

Yeah, I kind of just want to get them to get rid of the halogen look, because they're so dim they aren't doing much right now anyways. Maybe I'll look into getting the kind that you brought up though

Here's a picture of my fog lights when I put HIDs in and compared them to Silverstar bulbs. They were very bright but having such small fog lights they still were more for show. They also clouded up the lens from the intense heat and were failing to ignite with the strobe head i also have installed inside the fog lamp

Yeah one of my friends has 12000k HIDs for his fog lights but he also has projectors for fog lights. I feel like the way that our fog lights were made make them not very good for output

fog lights in montes are a joke. if i wanted a usable fog light, i'd replace them with actual yellow fog projectors.
