Default LED fogs and tails

Finally got around to replacing my lights. Came out pretty good. The fogs... I will use them as DRLs. Tails used to hyper-flash at first and I posted critical review of the seller. He read them and eventually sent me new controllers. They flash at normal speed now.

Before and after of the tails. Center mount is now LED and I added a trailer hitch brake light from Harbor freight.









Fogs... Glare is picked up by camera but not bad in person. Will run the fogs as DRLs.

They're okay. I had installed one side by side with the stock light. I'd say the stock definitely light gives out more usable light. For my purpose, they're great though.

It's not that they aren't bright. It's the same issue when you buy LED headlamp bulbs. The light that it puts out is whitish-bluish and for my eyes, the plain old yellow just works better. I will try to take some pics up against my garage door later. I won't have pics of the yellows though.
