LED Fog Lights

[Paul Workman]

I drove home last night w/ the LED headlights on. (Just friggin luxurious to be able to see so well now!!). But, with the low beams on, the headlights are so overwhelming I could not see any difference (at all!) in illumination w/ or w/o the LED fogs on.

I realize they're not intended to be substitutes for headlights, but I was surprised that with the low beams ON, switching the FOG LIGHTS on or off made no appreciable difference! The headlights just overwhelm the light put out by the FOGs, apparently.

Anyway...I really love me LED headlights. Huge difference = friggin "night and day" difference between them and the stock incandescent headlights. HUGE!

Haven’t actually driven with them at night yet. Worked great for 8hrs as DRLs driving down to SoCal yesterday. I expect I’ll be out at night while I’m down here. Will let you know.

With the street lights here in Chicagoland, I nearly ever use headlamps, just the HID fogs.

Do you manually turn them on to Be your DRLs? OR?

What HID Kit? I will probably do the LED Fogs, though, just to keep wattage/current low

I just run them manually. Haven’t bothered to figure out the wiring to make them permanent. That’s on the list.

So for auto DRLs what do you want?

Parking and fog lights or just fog lights?

I have some ideas

to add:

Questions..

If Fog as DRL, do you want the switch to control if DRLs are on or off?

If Parking lights and Fogs, do you want to be able shut fogs off (while in DRL mode?)

Either will turn on while car is running.

Really, just want the fogs to be on all the time without having to run the parking lights and hitting the button.

Hey Jeff,
I have a set of new HIDs for our cars. My friend here gave them to me and same are installed on his Z. They are yours if you want them. Like Hans, I installed LED fogs.

Having said that, I want to also have some DRLs and almost considered webeletrics kit that I had on my 90. For this 95, I’m afraid to try that kit since my front turn signals are already spliced into for my LED side markers. The shop that got my car to pass Japan inspection did some voodoo wiring and it works well now with LEDs. Some kind of relay tapped in there too. I’m afraid the webelectrics will mess it up.

I also would like to use fogs as DRL.

I see you were involved with this CF post 15 years ago for this topic.

Craig, Hans,

Let me work out the details for the Fog only DRL kit. With LEDs then your load is quite low.

Craig, I might be interested in the HIDs, they would be great for a comparison, but I do have a set of the LED fogs coming.. if they interfere with my radio (same brand did with tail lights) I might be interested in the HID kit..

Give me a few days to look over what can be done and the easiest way to do that..

Well that was easy. I will get details but the easiest way will be to add one relay.

Along with this there will be an added ground and switched power. Based off of the 1990 I know the wire color we need to move. I will be at my son’s swim meet all afternoon, so I should have time to detail out the info
