    So, I’m pretty sure, my vin states I have led fog lights, and saw it written somewhere in all the paperwork. But in the truck are halos. Anyone else come across this?

    OEM fogs should look like this. If they dont look like this then they are aftermarket ones the dealer put in to jack up the price.

    50C217B9-30FD-46C4-A333-DACFDAC17F6B.jpg There is a yellow bulb in there, one of the reasons I know it’s a halo, but I have to find the build sheet

    That's not a Valeo OEM LED fog light unit. You have a halogen normal fog lights with aftermarket bulb. OEM LED fog light bulbs are not replaceable.

    That’s what I’m saying, I know it’s not an led bulb, I put it in there. Original Dealer is 952 miles away, long story, long drive. I’m kinda on the fence about it as I don’t know if I actually want forward facing led, I like the the thought the halos will melt snow.

    I must be missing something. Your pic does not show halos. Either way, if you paid for LED bulbs or the OEM LED fogs, you got got.

    halo = halogen

    But, yeah, check your paperwork to see if it said LED, if it did give them a call.

    It probably will be a pain in the ass. THey will want to confirm that the wrong lights are installed compared to your paperwork, and that may involve you driving there. If you really want the OEM led fogs, you can get them on Amazon for about $100.

    There are multiple meanings of halo in this case, but benny is more or less right that that would be considered "angel eyes" if it was red then its "demon eyes" I believe they originally came from BMWs awhile back.

    They're considered halos.

    You're referring to halogen bulbs, which is what's causing some confusion with some people (including myself, earlier).

    Halo = angel eyes, which are leds now a days. I’ve yet to hear anyone shorten halogens as halo

    They are halos, which are also called angel eyes.
