LED fog light bulbs
Anyone know if there are LED fog light bulbs available for the fog lights that are on the lowest part of front bumper?
|
To answer my own question. Yes they are.
|
Can one replace the stock bulbs with LED bulbs, without tripping some kind of computer fault claiming the fog light bulb burned out (because the LED's draw a lot less current)?

But I see no point in switching to LES if you motivation is to save power. Why waste hard earned money when your car won't be faster after the switch?
BTW, with more light, you can drive faster safely at night. :nod: |
Remember these are fog lights. Do more lumens work better in the fog? Fog lights work well with a delicate balance of not having too much light that reflect back to you to blind you and with the correct aim angle. So more light does not necessary translate to safer driving. I have no idea the cause of his experience of melted housing. I haven't have this problem with H7 bulbs that is also 55W.

The only thing different with these housings was the clear film I installed to prevent a rock from breaking them. It just covered the front of the lens.

The films that I am installing onto the Porsche I elect not to have the head lights "protected" and these are the reasons. They are projection lights and who knows the potentially damaging light spectrum that is reflected back into the fixture. |

When in a properly designed housing with correct cut-offs, yes. More light output low and wide will improve foul-weather lighting performance. Removing blue from the output color spectrum will further this benefit.

I'm sure you're more than capable of doing a bit of research as the internet has been very alive for over 20 years, so feel free. Select yellow bulbs, updated fog light housings, properly-relayed wiring harnesses, modern LED conversions have adjustable cut-offs built into their design, etc.
Feel free. My original comment stands: when applied appropriately, more light means better visibility. |
