IPF LED X Bulb: Superwhite 9006
Bulb Type:
9006 Sold As: Twin Pack [Pair]
Wattage [draw]: 1.5
Wattage [output]: 100

IPF Super Light Emitting Diode bulbs are the newest thing on the market. With only a 1.5 watt draw the LED technology allows for a bright light with none of the heat. IPF LED bulbs are manufactured to match perfectly with OEM HID headlights when used in fog lights. IPF LED bulbs are manufactured with top quality materials, and feature a 90 day warranty. Made in Japan.

1.5W LED = 45-50 Lm vs. 1000 Lm = standard halogen H3 bulb. So Halogen ~ 20 times brighter.

Yeah the LEDs are just for show. My bro fitted them in his gs430's fogs and they look bright but don't light up the road at ALL!

I belive 03s have the non projector fogs and therefore require h11. Pre 03 have the projector fogs.
