I tried a similar set up last year, it looked good and illumination was spot on butthe resistor heated up to quite a high temp. so downgraded to mtec pure white halogens.

Thanks  :happy2: I did read on one listing they recommended the resistor not to be in contact with plastic as they got hot! I'll have a browse of the mtec

I brought some typical led bulbs for hb4 fitmeant when I went to fit realised they were h11  :fighting: decided to spend a bit more and try something a bit different so got these beauties:

2014 New 72w 6400lm H8/H9/H11 Cree LED Headlight Conversion Kit Lamp Bulb White

A good bonus I have found so far (finger crossed) is that as they have the little pack to run the bulbs / fans they don't throw a error code on the dash!

Night time fogs only

Cornering fogs

They look ace!!

Are you foglights reflectors or projectors?

Might need some of these to match my new Depo's, although I never have an opportunity to use the fog lights!

For curiosity sake, does anyone know whether the H7 version would work as the dipped beam in Hella projectors, beam pattern, dazzle etc?

Been looking to upgrade my reflector fogs to projectors. Does anyone know if the projector fogs have a different fitment to the hella reflectors at all? If not has anyone had any luck with some HB4 LED bulbs at all?
