    ok, so I just installed my new yellow fog lights. They work great, look great, and the install could NOT have been easier. I have obviously done something wrong! NO project goes this smooth and easy...ESPECIALLY when everyone says how easy it is to do!! So while everything looks and works great...it is obviously an illusion...something must be wrong. :notsure:

    Nothing to it. All you’re doing is swapping out a bulb...

    Did you check to make sure you put the left bulb into the left lamp and the right bulb into the right lamp? Obviously, they're labeled, but so many people reverse them.

    I have the OEM led fog lights, besides the tint film for the outside lens is there a led bulb available that will work with this housing? I don’t want the yellow look of the tint on a normal day.

    Did you ever figure out if we can put different bulbs?

    If you have the OEM LED fog lamps, its not a matter of swapping a bulb. The LEDs are direct soldered to a mcpcb, which likely has all the driver circuitry on it as well. You can swap your whole fog lamp for the older halogen bulb using fog (try tk find the earlier H11 bulb based lamp, the later H16 bulb based fog is junk and there arent good options for H16 bulbs on the market). Or check out the SAEJ583 Fog Lamp thread in the Lighting subforum. There's plenty of high quality selective yellow LED fog lamps on the market. Diode Dynamics offers multiple models (SSC1, SSC2 and SSC3 pods) in 6000k white and selective yellow with 2-3 different levels of output with each model ("sport"= lowest output, "Pro"= higher output, "Max"= highest output)

    Thanks a ton my man. This is the most informative thing i could find so far. I’m probably leaning towards DD fog lights.

    I agree. They are painful for oncoming drivers to wince at. I had a set of those installed and took them out after a couple of weeks. There's enough a-holes on the road, don't need to be joining them.
