They are yellow, but not what you'd ever call bright.....

I just bought some H11 3000k HIDs with ballasts, on Fleabay, but won't be able to put them in till spring.

$55 inc. shipping, but I bet that's less than those Leds........

I just want yellow bulbs, thought the LED's would be brighter. Guess I'll check out what rotaryFX has.

You can get a good HID fog kit from DDM tuning for like 30-50 bucks I don't know if you are set against installing some HIDs.

You might as well just put an ugly yellow overlay if you just want yellow...

Yeah...they are right. I have LED foglight bulbs and they are not that bright. I bought them
hoping they would be, but I like them because they match the rest of my LEDs. They were
like $45 on ebay and if I did it over, I would just go with HIDs.

Awesome people, great customer service, warranty on all their stuff.
It's around 70-80 shipped but a reputable seller goes a long way versus cheap product with horrible customer support.

I Plan on running some 3k HIDs from them. Does removing the reflector have and adverse side effects? Benefits? Or even some pictures perhaps?

I like the way removing the protector looks but it is a bitch to remove. A local member here has had his removed forever with no issues and we all have teh fog light mod so they are on most of the time.

Have you looked at the very extensive LED thread in the Exterior forum? Those LEDs don't look that great to me. Have you looked at V-leds.com? Those that have bought from them have been happy, me included.

Haha told you those parking lights are crap! I went through 2 sets. Now I gotta replace them with better leds and some for my clear corners too. Let me know where you get your hid fog kit cause I'm interested in doing it as well.
