Default LED foglight replacements

Once in a while I happen upon a good thread on Corvette Forum.

http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...ety-issue.html

The OP mentioned using LED bulbs in his fog lights and I was happy with the pictures he posted up. As I already have HID headlights I didnt want a HID foglight solution. The OP posted up the place where he bought his bulbs but I thought the cost was way too much.... so after some online research... I found the same LED bulbs for 1/2 of the cost that he paid. So I installed them. I am impressed and I like the removal of the yellowish hue that the original bulbs put out. These are cleaner andnbrighter and I am very satifised but the proof is in the pudding so here are my images I took this morning






Here is where I bought the bulbs off of Ebay. In this ad they come in pairs so half off of what the OP had paid on Corvette Forum. Bleeding Edge Forum Mod signing off. Your mileage may vary. GC

the ebay add said it is not compatible with 1990-1995 corvette zr1. why would they say that when the part works for goldcylon?? I have hid foglights and have not installed them. I like the fact that these drop in. I know the led foglights are so powerful that some guys use them as there regular lights at night. guess I should just install the hid's I already have in the boxes.

Cause the OEM 896 was a lower wattage than the 886 in the eBay link

They will work


**Meaning wattage difference with filament bulbs.. LED are lower power so brighter light with less wattage

For same reason everything from a tailgate to a chrome bumper is compatible with the ZR-1 lol. Honesty how many L98 water pumps and optisparks and all other sort of items either will or will not fit. Lol. That's why I tested em. They work great no ballasts involved etc. I'm getting tired of the EBAY car ads as well for MY 90 - 91 sale ads that also add in seat heaters and side impact airbags as standard equipment.
