I'm want to get switchback bulbs but I'm seeing they're only available in H11 bulbs!! These are sick..

Most here have done that. H11 and H16 are essentially interchangeable, only the wattage is lower for H16 (I believe the fogs in the 8th Gen are 19W). The bulbs you're looking at are 20W each so that shouldn't be an issue. The amperage is really what you should watch for so you don't blow the fuse. Some folks have blown fuses when they installed HIDs in the fogs.


It looks like these were designed for headlights. 4000 lumen/bulb for fogs!? It also looks like you change the color by toggling the headlights on and off. Do you know for sure that will work in a fog light circuit? Nonetheless, they look intriguing!

4000k might be too bright

I found a video review on these. Looks pretty neat. Dope to be able to switch between colors just by turning them off and on. Just worried it might blow the fuse tho..not too sure

The draw of an H16 halogen bulb is only ~ 2 amps. LEDs typically draw less/watt so you should be OK. HIDs can draw 20 amps or more when they ignite, which is why the 15 amp fog fuse may blow.
