Thumbs up Samsung H11 LED Fog lights

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!

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.

The function of fog lights are to illuminate the road below the fog, with that type of light pattern, you gonna wish you left the original fog lamps in.
