    Hi all - I'm ready to re-upgrade my fogs... initially i swapped the stock halogen to H11 6k's and really liked them. i just had a LOT of white light up front and wanted some contrast so I bought some yellow Lamin-X. With the LED's punching through the Lamin-X it gave out a weird lime color... so i removed the LED's and replaced with stock halogen. the yellow is nice, but not a lot of output.

    My question is, i've seen on some YouTube video's, and now can't find them, but there were people running LED's that you could use your headlight switch to turn off/on and toggle between like 5500/4300/3000. Anyone have a lead on these? I'd really like to run amber, but can't seem to find any LEDs...

    Anyone have any leads? End of day, if i can't land a selectable color, i'd prefer amber, then yellow. if i can't get those i'll just default back to H11's 6k and remove my Lamin-X.

    Everything you need for LED fogs is in this thread:

    Those ‘color changing’ LEDs are garbage products, they use multiple LEDs on the blade so that no LED emitters are placed correctly and result in awful glare, poor pattern, and lack of projection. Don’t fall for those gimmicky products, you’ll note that no respectable LED manufacture makes such a product because it is not actually possible for them to work as advertised.
