    Best LED fog light upgrade for a 20, budget around $150-200? Plug & play preferred.

    Have a set from Xenon Hids that I had on the 17, decent lights but not sure about fitment on the 20.

    Thanks

    Welcome! All the data you seek is in the thread below. For your price range I would check out the Diode Dynamics SS3 sport. If you intend to use them in poor weather conditions, opt for the selective yellow version. See the links at the Very top of this thread for the SS3 testing.

    Thanks crash. That's an unbelievably well put together and informative thread. KCs or the DD SS3s might be just what I'm looking for.

    So, saying the budget were roughly 300, amber KC G4 or DD SS3 Pro?

    I would not recommend amber for fogs, the output intensity is low and the contrast provided by the light isn’t great. Selective yellow is far better as the output intensity is much higher, the contrast provided by the light is significantly better and it still has the poor weather performance benefits of long wavelength light. I would get the SS3 Pro in selective yellow.

    I have the G4s in Amber. Love them. I haven't had any yellow fogs to compare to, so listen to Crash in those regards.

    They project more lights to the sides of the road because of how they're built, and that's great for finding deer before I hit them. Contrast is pretty good in those areas, similar to wearing some nice amber lens ski goggles.

    Based on personal experience, they're what I would recommend. They look great off with the branding as well. But either choice is awesome.
