HB-4 LED alternatives for the Fog/Spotlights.
« on: February 07, 2013, 02:05:25 pm »
Hi Guys,

Has anyone found a decent alternative LED for the fog lights?

I received these yesterday but the car tells me that the front fog lights are not working even though they clearly were. :sad1:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HB4-9006-Xenon-WHITE-27-LED-SMD-CAN-BUS-ERROR-FREE-Car-Fog-Bulbs-MERCEDES-BENZ-/310391387404?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4844c4b50c

I have to say, they looked really good but I have removed them for now.

If you read all of the item description it says you will need the extra resistors for £6. Fit them and you'll be fine. I've got the same ones as this, currently using them as drls :happy2:

Hi Jonny,
Yeah, I did see that but just wondered if there was anything out there that didn't need the extra resistors......Ho Hum.

Do I get these to match my headlights, http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/mtec-9006-12v-55w-super-white-hid-class-upgrade-bulbs/

Or just get the resistors?

That'll be a question for Eddie........

Last week, Eddie coded my Fogs to light up at low speed as I turn a corner........if he coded them out, would this feature disappear? :confused:

It's in entirely up to you mate. I went for the LED's as I coded them for the drls so they looked more oem, plus the fact someone said about not buying brighter halogens as it might burn the fog casing, but they might have been talking out their arse :P
