Led fogs

[MyLeon]

Do they "project" the light further than standard bulbs?

I'm not sure they do, but to be honest I never really used the standard ones so it's difficult to compare.
The LED's look nice though...

Looks like we have two choices.

Upgrade the halogen and a get close colour match with similar light levels or go for led bulbs with nearer/spot on colour match but less light projection.

Looks vs practically.

Considering fogs are for close range illumination and how often they are actually used - I would go for a colour match.

On my last car, I was running 6000k hids and I put osram nightbreaker plus bulbs in the fogs and they matched pretty well.....but don't know temperature of the leds.....?

I would say the oem led lights are 5000k - almost pure white

With the hassle involved with replacing these, I reckon a fit and forget option is a good one. That's assuming the LED's work for longer than you own the car!

Yeah come to think of it if the factoy bulb goes it's bad enough. If someone can't manage them selves i can't see a dealer doing it FOC!

You may be right......iirc hids in standard form are around 5500k.......

This company are active on the Audi-Sport forum and had a good reputation for supplying error free LED bulbs so might be worth a call. I got PS19W drl bulbs from them before so do more types than are shown on the website.

Just been having a look at horizon leds, essentially their Cree h8 led bulb that's designed to work like a halogen. Has anyone fitted these...?

The standard LED lights are 4800k according to my dealer.

I opted for these LED fogs

They don't project brilliantly due to being LED's but they are a decent colour match

I want both if.I can....looks and performance

 

[dephead2004]

I have mitecs non led price vs performance and looks decided it for me but then I have an se !

 

[andrewpain]

fitted a cree LED in my reverse light, as it was piss-poor.
LED is no brighter at all, but a nicer shade of white....

I advised at the top of the thread. Your profile doesn't say where you're based. Come & have a look. (West Yorkshire).

First trip in proper foggy conditions the other day and the MTecs were absolutely hopeless.
