Thumbs up Samsung H11 LED Fog lights

so just wanted to throw this up here, found some awesome led h11 bulbs for my 04 4.8is to replace the halogen fogs, look awesome and are pretty bright, match a 6k hid color.

Sorry bud... but as with the majority of LED's (just about all actually) sold as replacements for bulbs used in reflector housings, the output they produce will rank them as novelty items...not as something that will produce any functional output. If you're after something simply for looks, then I'm glad you found something that fits the bill though....

actually they are quite functional, they have an internal projector inside the bulb, the only reason i chose these. that's why i shared!

I prefer the 'old,' left foglight. That's the pattern fogs are supposed to project. I'm quite happy with the stock fogs in my '06 [adaptive xenon headlight package]. To each his own, provided those H11s in the fogs are street-legal .......

That's about the worst possible distribution of light for a fog I've seen yet If I'm honest. Do your fellow motorists on the road a favor and toss these bulbs...all these Fleabay specials are good for is directing light to all the wrong areas, and annoying others on the road.
