I used to have the PIAA Ion's, but they were not nearly yellow enough for me. Installed yellow capsules in the fogs and the color and output are great (although the I30's fogs kinda suk to begin with)

i am goint to do a 32 led retro into a h3 capsule this weekend. there are 28 side-firing leds, and 4 forward firing, so they will work real well with the fog housing reflector. if the led's themselves are powerful enough, i will do both sides of the car. i will post pix after this weekend if it looks good, and has enough light output.

by all means prove me wrong but i have yet to see leds provide enough light to be used as fogs granted the stockers dont do much anyway. i has led reverse lights and the were really weak.

i know, but you need to get the leds that are side-firing into the reflector. i am really concerned about this myself, but i got another set (168 or 194) of leds, and they have 4 side-firing and one forward firing led, and it loox great. the 4 hit the reflector, and work surprisingly well as a parking bulb.
this is a very low wattage application, so i dont know how it will turn out as a fog light.
but 4 leds vs 32 leds... hopefully there will be enough to provide candlepower for fog light applications. this is a test, if it works, i will post pix here.
