Looking for opinions/reviews on these VLEDS for fog lights
I came across these in my search for LED fog lights, and was impressed with the build/options available.
http://www.vleds.com/shop-applicatio...ght-bulbs.html
I like the fact that they are available in 5K color, and are adjustable to get the correct angle to project the LED. They are not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. I spoke with the guy from VLEDS (Jake), and he was really knowledgeable. Heck he even explained the REAL difference between H11, H16 and 5202, and where the confusion originally stemmed from. We spoke about the dreaded "moisture" problems so many are having when replacing their stock halogens, and he made some good points about it regarding quality of construction, and proper sealing (not just the gasket leaking).
Their reported lumen output is measured, and not calculated.
Does anyone have experience with these fogs?

Since I got no replies, I decided to give these a whirl. Got the 5000K color temp. I'll review them once they are installed.

Since the drl never matched the sr stock led, but on the hind side stock led headlight match perfectly with fogs. I have them for couple of weeks, did some night driving and still no one has flashed at me. They do project more on the sides, which fogs are suppose to. But the total lamination on the street is just amazing loving it.

Really happy...
Before
2strokes in low beams and VLEDs on passenger side fogs
Complete installation
Night shot
I'm really happy with these fogs. The color temp is an exact match to the DRLs (the night shot does not do the true color justice in both the 2strokes and the fogs). Way brighter than stock halogens. Because these fogs are adjustable, the LEDs can be positioned in the reflector housing (left-to-right) so the dispersion pattern travels horizontally and does not blind the oncoming traffic.

Just want to follow up on how these are holding up. It's been pretty rainy here in the Northeast, and so far there is no moisture in the fog housings. Let's hope it stays that way!!!

Dude..you just made my day. I've been thinking about doing this exact thing since I bought mine a few months ago but was having a hell of a time figuring out what fogs would match the DRLs the best.

It's nice to put a smile on someone's face! They just updated their website as the 5000K have been on back order. The ETA is the end of the month. I had to wait for mine as well, so I guess they sell a lot of the 5000K (6000K are always available!).

One last time....
Last update on the potential moisture issue.....The Northeast is still raining on and off, and I put the car through a rigorous car wash the other day....still no moisture in the housing. I consider this a successful install!

I had ordered a set of 5k Leds for my fogs too a few weeks ago. I have been unable to install cause the car is too low and I don't have ramps or anything. Winter is not the time to freeze on the ground getting annoyed trying to install these.
I have seen plenty of moisture in my stock fogs, I need to search here for the issues related to this.
