Any body tried this. I saw on Superbrightleds.com that they have some LED driving light's (not lowbeams) that i thought might work for fogs.

Thoughts?

probably not very bright. LED driving lights simply light up your bezel...and thats about it. They don't project much light at all.

How about putting in some LED's in the headlight bezels? Has anybody ever done that on here, or thought about it?

ok i mean like actually drilling holes into that plastic bezel piece and like getting white led's in there or throwing in some blue ones on a switch for show or something like that. or is that what you were referring to Cherrington?

I meant something like this,

Says it can be used as fogs. Was wondering if somebody has tried them.

our fog lights do ~1000 lumens. the new link is 40. it'll light up the fog light casing.. but won't help the road, at all.


rida, actually, you mount them near the headlight (one on each side) facing back toward the reflective part. It makes that whole "cell" glow that color. a bunch have done it, it seems the new site upgrade killed the links to the pics though.

Ok because that would be a really cool looking little mod. If you show me the how to, i will do it and take pictures as i do it, and then post them up.
