Rusty XR6T Donating Members 516 Member For: 14y 10m 2d Gender: Male Posted 21/03/11 11:43 PM Author Share Posted 21/03/11 11:43 PM update for you guys... do not buy these LED fog lamps!!!please see pictures below, they show LED's that have gotten so hot they have melted off and are sitting inside my fog lamp housing. Out of 102 LEDs sitting on each globe, only about 2-3 LEDs actually light up now per globe.LEDs are obviously very cheap and serve a good purpose but not as fog lamps, well at least not the ones off ebay All well you live and learn I guess and yes yes I know my car is filthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you got to take the light out completely and shake the bits out. Ebay should have a delayed feedback where you could comment on quality some time after the sale...

HID kits are illegal as you can't adjust angle and also can't use them in your fogs in Vic as your not allowed to use them. Ive been pulled over twice on FN stud road but let off as have got out and shown them they are LEDs and wouldn't light up a piece of paper.

Search ebay worldwide as the price can drop to 2 or 3 dollars instead of heaps when searching locally. Grab a couple if they are cheap as no postage on second set usually..
