If you want fog lights to be useful in fog leave them alone. White light from LED's won't work well in fog.

Stans got a pair for sale, don't know if they'll work on yours though. |

As Andy K says, the warm white light is much, much better for fogs, and indeed is better for main beams too. Fogs really don't need the power of HID, and any disruption to the beam pattern is liable to render them useless. I know the warm glow is not fashionable at the moment, but it really is better for vision. If you want to do something different, go the other way - selective yellow bulbs are great for fog lamps. |

so if you want to keep the fogs/mains as they are but maybe want a better looking 'light' then replace with halogen bulbs (off ebay) that give a whiter light.....i did my mains with these cheapy bulbs which cost only £8 for the pair and it got rid of the yellow look. ... - .- -.
