When they get back in stock buy two pairs. I always do just in case of a failure. Haven't had a parking light bulb go yet, but if one does I have a backup.

Just ordered a pair of the H11 LED fogs. They weren't in stock yet but they had a 10% discount on Facebook I had to take advantage of. Since I have to go replace both of my fog lenses anyway, I can deal with the wait. I'm hoping this turns out well. My previous light setup was the PIAA Yellows which were awesome. If they had this fog in a LED Yellow, I'd be REALLY set.

1. Fog Lights (with yellow Lamin-X overlay)
2. Parking Lights
3. Corner Lights
4. Brake Lights
5. Center Brake Light

6. Door Lights
7. Dome Lights
8. Map Lights
9. Trunk Lights
10. License Plate

Did I get that all right and will there be enough bulbs to go around?
(not doing footwell lights)

Looks perfect! You'll have the same setup as me. I'd lose the yellow film on the fogs though, that mixed with the bluish white color of the LEDs will probably give you a funky green color.

Do they make "yellow" LEDs for the fogs? really would like to go that route...

decided to go 5k instead, dont really like the blue tint on a VR

and lastly, i notice some bulbs with the hi power heatsink and regular non heatsink design, which route would you suggest?

last edit: im looking through the amber corner lights now and there's 3 models of the same type of light, how to know which way to go? very confusing...

LAST LAST EDIT: actually ignore all the above and tell me if this order form makes sense (everything should be here except the 3rd brake light)
still need to figure out yellow fog lights and decided not to change the rear bulbs except for license plate light
the brake lights are plenty bright enough but yellow halogens with hid's sucks



I should have
FOGS
PARKING, DOORS, MAP, TRUNK, LICENSE PLATE
CORNERS
DOME
(skipping footwell, brake lights, tail lights)

Yeah, everything looks good, but if you really want yellow fogs, I'd suggest going with some PIAA Plazma Ion Yellow halogen bulbs. I have a pair (not running them now obviously) and they are super yellow. You don't even need overlays. Even with the 5K LED bulbs, the yellow overlays aren't going to give you the color you want. They will very likely just look slightly yellow like a normal halogen. LEDs are really for matching the HID color, if you want yellow I don't think you'll be happy. If you have stock HIDs though, those bulbs without the overlays will be a great match.

If you want crazy bright yellow fogs, get a 3000k HID kit. That's what I've got, and they look pretty cool. Actually bright enough to drive on without headlights, though not as much of the road is illuminated. I haven't removed the deflectors in mine yet, so I assume that situation will get better once I do.
The HID's won't be as yellow as the PIAA's, but they'll be a lot brighter.

Here's a link to V-LEDS yellow HID kit. There's a pic on the page of a Lexus with them as fogs so you can get an idea of the color.

$100? not bad considering the PIAA bulbs are $90+

I dunno if they'll be as yellow as on that Lexus. Some Lexus' have stock yellow fogs, so the housing lenses may be tinted yellow as well.
This is what they look like on my car:

ever since ive put in my LED fogs ive had condensation and even a puddle of water in my passenger side fog light and its the reason a couple of the leds are out on the light im assuming and it never had it before so im assuming its the bulb not sealing correctly thats letting the water in....

well i just ordered some 6000K HID kit for my fogs from vvme and if i use a blow dryer to evaporate all the water out then put those in do you think it wont get water if that bulb has a better seal? becuase i dont want water to mess up those bulbs

ive used a blow dryer once before on that fog but i guess it was humid and by the time i put it back on the car some of the condensation was back yet the water in the bottom was gone. but also when i disconnect the fogs a good bit of water pours out of the wire bundle and maybe its attributed to that? but water didnt get in the driver side and it poured out the same amount. if thats why there is water in the fog then the HIDs wont have a problem since the connector will no longer conect to the fogs yes?

clean them and put a small bead of silicone. HID's are so freakin hot water should not last long in there, I would imagine.

AJRx892

iTrader: (2)

alright sounds good and im sorry for my ignorance but where should i put the silicone?

Chad D.

iTrader: (19)

idk, on the gasket? if there is no gasket try to put it where the contact is made? I used to be plumber and silicone used properly can fix anything leak related. 100% silicone. I have mixed my (and Veselini's) leaky Taillight and it worked great. cost 4 bucks.

iTrader: (2)

if i put it where contact is made to the buld base will i be able to remove the bulb later?

Chad D.

iTrader: (19)

yes and no
you can it is just a little more difficult. How often are you changing out your lights?

AJRx892

iTrader: (2)

not very often in my opinion. im planning on keeping the HIDs, once i put them in, as long as possible. i changed form the stock fog bulbs to the vleds around thanksgiving 09.

ill only change them if the bulb is no longer functioning so i assume and damage to the bulb when trying to remove the silicone wont matter as long as i dont damage the housing at all
