    Just swapped in factory led headlights and now the halogen fogs look too yellow and dim.

    What are you using for whiter bulbs in the fog light? Silverstars come to mind, unsure if I should use LEDs, or what brand. Looking for simple bulb replacement, no fuss.

    Don't use a different halogen. The heat will melt the housing. I use Vleds when it comes to led lighting.

    Not too familiar with this brand. Reviews seem to be all over the place

    Well, Vleds are good but too much$, I would just buy replacement led fogs if I was going to spend over $100. SS3s are about 220 or so, hoping to spend under $50 for just bulb replacement, yellow for the fogs, for something that wont cause me issues or burn out in 6 months.

    I dont know much about LEDs :annoyed:

    Not sure at this point.
    I'd look into Alla Lighting as well. I have their amber bulbs for my fogs.

    Lasfit switchbacks you get white driving or yellow fogs. Just switch on/off/on they change color.

    I cant speak for the fogs, but I had an auxbeam 30" lightbar that I stuck in lower bumper valance on my old 2014 and ran it for 6 years. Always turned on when I wanted it to. Lit up the road like yankee stadium. Took all of the salt and abuse from our roads and winters/weather up here. Paint kind of chipped off a little but the light remained sealed and 100% operational. If youre looking to keep it inexpensive, I think they will do what you need them to.
