Need help : LED or HID for fog and headlights?

Hey guys,

I'm looking to get LED or HID for my headlights and fog lights but don't know which type to go with. I hear pros and cons for both. I'm looking for a 5500k to 6000k look which is pretty much like an arctic white or pure white.

your time is greatly appreciated.

 

I put HIDs in my low beam headlights and cannot believe the difference in lighting! The projectors provide a perfect cut off line for the light so it doesn't blind others. Cannot over recommend! BTW....I originally put 6000k bulbs in and the projector lenses made them kind of yellow. I then installed a set of 8000k bulbs and now get that pure white. I also stepped up to 55w ballasts and bulbs after reading others had done it and experienced no issues. I love the extra light they put out!

 

BTW....I used a $30 kit off of Ebay. Been using these for years on all my vehicles without a hitch. Just put them in my 2017 Expedition as well.

 

I chose hid over led lights. Led lights are weak compared to hid. I tried both

 

Left is an LED "upgrade" and right is 4300k Phillips HIDs. LEDs lack the necessary hot spot to put usable light farther down the road.

 

I didn't know Morimoto sold HIDs for fog lights. Or, did you use another brand and put them in your OEM fogs? I tried HIDs (35w, H11, 6000k) but they dulled out the reflector in the fog housing. Take a flashlight and look into the fog light lens and you will see how the reflector is burnt and foggy. This cannot be good I would think. This is what made me want to purchase the Morimotos. I don't want issues.

 

Any heat issues burning the inside reflector? Can you please take a look and let me know? What bulbs did you use?

 

Who are you talking to?

 

Both you and Riggins.

 

Ahh. I'm using Phillips 4300k bulbs and have no issues. Take this with a grain of salt though because this is in my 2015 Subaru Legacy (in halogen projectors). For fogs I'm running Morimoto LEDs.

I ordered the Morimotos. Just curious....why didn't you put HIDs in your Tacoma fog lights? The do put out a tremendous amount of light.

 

Heating issues and because they're in a housing designed for them. HIDs in a stock fog housing will blind oncoming drivers.

 

I only use morimoto products there really good, never go above 6000K. Anything higher and you start loosing lumens, some of the LED's (2stroke) is decent but HID will be better. A Lexus RX non AFS retrofit will be best. Lol

 

Any pictures of the kit on the Expo & link to ebay please

I have the same brand, got mine off Amazon though. Over a year with no issues
