Yellow is better as it reflects less white light back towards the driver. So consider your responsibilities to yourself, your family, and others before you light the front of your truck up and exacerbate the problem that you're trying to overcome. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...fog_lamps.html
Well said!

I'm not sure they just happened to have them at the stereo shop around me. Any H16 LED should work. You might just have to get some linemans and trim down the three pieces but that only take a second. I didn't have to trim mine but the halogens I bought before I did need to. LEDs look much better then halogens..

I don't really care about the tabs. They dremel off easily. I'd prefer to not have to do it. But what's more of a concern to me is that the LED bulbs have the same polarity as the factory plug. I don't wanna have to cut my stock wiring to switch the polarity! Do you know if you had to reverse the polarity on your plug at all?
