    I put Sylvania Silver Star Ultra bulbs in my 2015 the other day. Love 'em. They put out more light than my stock bulbs and they're much whiter. $44 at Wallyworld.

    Never saw that and never had an issue with them. In the limited I ran them in the fogs & lows, in my Pro I run them in highs & lows.

    Good to know from TW members. I may upgrade to these bulbs soon with this newfound assurance.

    The LED's are quite good. The fog lights with LEDs are ridiculous, they spread so well you can light up all the lanes of the interstate, ditches, etc

    Is it legal to run those in the fog lights as well? I feel like that would be extremely bright

    As far as I know, yes. There isnt a law that restricts the brightness of the bulb. The laws cover mostly the angle at which they point, can only be on with low beams, etc.

    This is a section of VA Law.

    Joe, so you're running both H11 lowbeam and fog lights with OPT7 FluxBeam bulbs or different sets?

    The only way to get a whiter light on halogen bulbs is drive the filliment harder, you can get some that have coatings on the glass that slightly change the hue of the light, usually these just inhibit light output and only have a minor effect on temperature change. Any halogen bulb with whiter color will have its life drastically reduced.

    You can use OPT7's "EMAIL10" promo code to get 10%. This promo code is provided when you sign up for an account. I used promo code BLACKFRIDAY to get 15% . Don't know if this code still work but the 10% should without requiring purchase two sets.
    Usually, OPT7 have cheaper prices on certain products. Not all but some like their Redline tailgate LED bar. Amazon has it for higher price. I rarely buy things from eBay. Hate their PayPal and unreliable sellers. Can't go wrong buying direct or from Amazon.

    Yes, H11 in all 3 spots.

    If you get them from the eBay link I provided in a previous post they are cheaper than Amazon and OPT7's website & they are sold from OPT7 and not some random eBay seller. On Amazon the price is $99.99 per set. On eBay they are $89.99 per set, if you buy 2 sets they drop to $79.99. No promo code needed.
