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

Any difference on the road compared to the useless stock lights?

I think they might be brighter, but I bet the reflector in stock is holding them back
