    Thanks, has anyone tried these in the fog lights?

    Not sure which one would be brighter, the larger 18 LEDs or the smaller 68 LEDs? From the picture (click on color pic) it looks like the 18 is brighter. It looks like one has 5050 SMD and the other 1210 SMD LED chips, anyone know the output on them?

    Also wondering the same thing. All of the earlier links in this thread have expired except for the recent one by Chickenmunga. Those at JLC lightings look pretty good. Also found http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Error-Free-912-921-Backup-Reverse-Lights-p/led-sku318.htm and http://store.ijdmtoy.com/T15-912-921-Backup-Reverse-Lights-p/led_hp_t15_sku311.htm
    The bulbs at JLC put out 720 lumens, and the two at iJDM are 900 and 500 lumens. Are lumens the only factor in the brightness of a light? The wattage doesn't seem to matter as much as the 2 above are both 5W but different outputs.

    Nobody???

    From Wiki:
    is a measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted by a source.

    So I would say yes the more lumens the brighter the light. But I can't find how much the fog lights put out. I e-mailed them but never got anything back.
