LED fog lights are not as effective when used in a lamp designed for halogen bulbs. They will look white, but the light output will be comparatively poor

Thanks Mikey How much of a difference have you noticed between the halogen bulb vs the LED bulb? MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

LEDs will be easily much brighter than halogens, but, two things to consider - 1, fog lights don't need to be, and shouldn't be, hugely bright, and 2, the higher colour temperature of LEDs gives more glare and they offer poorer colour rendering - not good in poor weather conditions. Just worth considering, but I realise most fogs are used primarily as a fashion accessory more than anything. Freelander 2 2007 TD4 Manual HSE Tambora Flame

On a certain online site there is a LED direct units swap for the existing halogen unit and its not that expensive. Plug and play also, plugs into existing LR wiring plug.

Just to clarify ... Led will easily be much brighter ... nonsense, it will need to be a higher lumen output LED to be brighter, only then will the statement stand up, not all LED's are brighter. Colour temperature has nothing to do with glare, poor beam profile causes glare and colour rendering depends on the make up of the wavelengths within the spectrum of the light produced, LED's can have a very high colour rendering index. Having said all that, you are correct they are a fashion accessory, I would much rather replace mine with something more useful, something like a bren gun to shoot out the rear fog lights ofthose who dont know how to use them |
