Some may be wondering if the headlight back covers fit?
They fit perfectly!
You just need to bend the braided heatsink forward.
Have a great day!

Only a few days left before this first round closes!
Did a quick test fit in the late model fogs this morning.
Notes:
1. You can't use the cover but the bulbs have a very high water/dust proof rating.
2. I removed the ground lead to the mounting chassis inside the housing and connected the wires directly to the internal prongs. You can still use the standard connector this way (no splicing)
3. The heatsink can be bent up well out of the way. Also I don't have a lip on my car.
4. The bulbs are 6000k/4800LM and the fogs have yellow lenses.Last edited by djmossm42; 04-17-2019, 04:28 PM.

Thanks!Originally posted by htseng View PostIve wanted to see the same thing. LED typically have a very tight and focused beam with limited spread.

Please keep in mind there are some limitations in the depo design. Mainly the cutoff shield being flat vs curved. Curved shields help keep the line sharp across the full width of the beam. You can also tell in the video the focus is not infinite. As the car gets closer the cutoff sharpness increases significantly and when moving back it decreases. Another possible flaw is the lens and whether or not it is optically clear. The high output of these bulbs helps overcome some of the limitations in the optics and there are no major dark spots that I can notice.

Here's another pic on a gray/light blue wall in low light

These bulbs are very bright so it should be very noticeable. I had SilverStar halogens in mine and they provided light but it was hard to tell, the main reason I could tell was because of the yellow lenses but the intensity did not match my headlights when I had 2400lm/led bulbs.

They should fit ok, you just need to figure your cable management (probably zip ties) to keep the driver/ballast from hanging down. The braided heatsink will keep whatever form you put it in so you can bend it up around the fog light housing. I will test fit one tonight and take pics. I have late model fogs, so the bulb installs from the bottom. Not sure about the positioning of early model bulb but you should still be able to find a way to mount these bulbs securely.
