Any LED recommendations? 4th gen




Anyone have any suggestions on LED brands. Takes a 9004 size bulb. Looking to upgrade to LED’s instead of having halogens. Also are there any LED’s that will fit the fog lights? The H3 bulb is so small thats why. Thanx.

I can tell you not to buy these:

Amazon Amazon
OPT7 H3 CREE LED DRL Fog Light Bulbs

They are not nearly bright enough to be useful. I'm thinking about swapping back to halogens, honestly. Sorry that doesn't actually answer your question lol.

Currently not using LED’s, and thankyou, they are sylvania ultras. I have never had someone flash me. They are pretty bright especially the sylvania zxe. Fog lights are basic halogen bulbs.

The reviews on the H3 for that particular bulb you linked look good. If you get them post how they turn out; I might swap.

I was sad that the H3's I bought were such garbage; I've had very good luck with the 9004 style bulb in my other vehicles.

These are what I have and they are the best plug and play LED bulbs out there. They are the best LED brand that has a perfect beam and spread of light across the road with no gray spots. They are super bright and really quite and you won't even notice the fans running. I tried every other brand but the JDM XSpeed brand is the best and you can read the reviews. I've had them for a year and there has been no problems. I also have them on an HONDA Accord 2014 and they are the best and work great. I have friends who have the same LED brands on there car after other failed one has it on a Subaru WRX 2017 and Honda Accord 2004.Here is the Link down below. For the fog lights H3 I have tried every brand out there and the best bulbs turned out to be the Osram H3 12V 55W 5000K 62151CBA COOL BLUE ADVANCE Car Bulbs Halogen Fog Lamps 2X. As you can see in the pics that the fog lights are really bright and have a really high shine. Here is the link down below for them as
well.
