Led or HID for fog light? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

ahmerica · 04-15-2010, 06:20 AM

I just spent like an hour looking at people's post but I didn't really see any pictures of people with LED as for light and I wanted to know how it actually looks like.
I will also like to have you guys feedback and recommendation.
Not sure if there are any space near the fog light to mount the ballast. So let me know? Thanks a bunch!

HID is brighter/cheaper.

I put led fogs in I can't post the thread here but when I get home tonight I will. I am really happy with them. Bulb life alone is worth it for me.

I'd get them if I didn't already have fogs. They do look sweet!

It's brighter than the stock fogs.

And Fogs aren't actually functional...they're more for show, especially if you have HIDs as your low beams. It was proven on some show (forget which).

Is it really brighter then stock fogs? I would think they actually help during foggy events, even if you had HID's in your lows, the yellow for fogs would work best, wouldn't they?

I don't think it was intended for that purpose lol

We had two Corollas side by side lastnight and the LEDs were a lot brighter on the road than the stockers.

I have yellow in my Camry, they're brighter than LED though.

Wow thank you everyone for the quick reply! I have to admit that looks REALLY nice, all I found yesterday was a random youtube video of a guy's corolla with blue fog and blue headlight!

I was thinking more of a 9006 LED light that could directly fit into the fog lights lot. If I am not mistaken, I think the ones on the corolla are added strip?

He also did a very nice FX-R retrofit using threaded PVC/ABS piping to mount
his projectors by jb welding them inside of each half of the pipe.. There is nice write up on HID Planet. I like them as a fog light.. you see the new Mercedes and Audi's using them now.
