LED Fog lights

Dleo · 02-21-2007, 02:26 AM

Hey guys, I did a search but did not find any results for LED Fog lights on the forum.

I came accross H11 LED Fog lights, and was wondering if anybody has tried them, or seen them on a car before.

I am just basiclly looking for some feedback on the product.

Was it an easy install?
Material quality of product? (did it seem poorley made?)
Impression of final outcome?
Any pics?

Heres the link to the lights

first off you will get an error - they only draw 1.5 watts. also those things are going to be soooo dim. 1.5 watts will only product about 80 - 90 lumens Max... the OEM halogen bulbs produce about 1000 lumens or so.

that link is such a scam.... those bulbs probalby coast about $5-10 each to make!

thats my take on it at least. It says it has the light output of 100w, but thats impossible. LED's are only capable of about 80lumens/watt, and these are 1.5 watts.
For instance, a 100w indoor bulb produces about 500 lumen.

Any LED replacement of a stock bulb (except e90 angel eyes) will give you an error because the LED's don't draw enough power. The car's computer reads it as a "bulb-out" error. Do-able if you place a resistor in between and re-wire...but that's a lot of work for fogs that woul be VERY dim.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Wasnt aware of the low output and error message this product would bring along, just isnt worth it.
