Default post pix of your LED fogs!!

thinking about going the LED route, as the lens are clear anyway(as opposed to the 2GS), and I'm not so much going for a bright HID light, but rather just the 3000k JDM look. anyone have pix of their fog setup, would be greatly appreciated

EDIT 6/1/09

i decided to go the Nokya halogen capsule route, as HID's are too much of a hassle to install + the price and LED's are all show. i guess you can say i met half way and just went with the Nokya's, and i'm actually quite satisfied.. here's a couple pix (you might have seen from my other post, and mind you, these were taken in the day time under a open garage)

LED fogs? Why? I have a 3000K HID kit in them because I wanted to retain some usage from them.

I have LED fogs and they are only good for lighting up the housing

well, all i'm really looking for is the style, i'm not looking to take off my bumper to install the HID's as, when you reinstall the bumper, the fitment is never the same as factory. also, as long as the LED's are as strong/stronger then the bulbs already in there, i have no real issue. i'm not looking for it to be SUPER bright

You're not going to get any usable output from LED's. Not sure why you'd want to waste time with this when you can install a halogen bulb for a lot cheaper. Are you wanting to have a true yellow light or what? You going for just a 'color' down there or something?

Secondly, I can't disagree with the bumper off/never fitting the same as factory statement more dude. I've had mine off/on twice. If you're patient and take the time to do it right, it goes back on just as well as it did the first time.

But, whatever floats your boat I guess.

What attention? They look pretty OEM, the pattern stays low, and they give good output. I have yet to be flashed.

3K is yellow, yellow attracts the eyes of ricers, ricers leads to things being stolen from your car!
