H4 LED Fog light bulbs

[Rigla]

Hi guys,

A mate of mine has got these on his BMW in his fogs its basically a H4 bulb but with LEDs instead of your average halogen bulb it looks well good and its nice and bright with a crisp white LED look when on...

Anyone got these or know anything about them?

Thanks

Sure ive seen a post on here about them that said they looked well when they are on and compliment the xenons but are no good as actual fog lights cause theyre not bright enough..

my mate got some h7 bulbs but they were crap output but looked nice so i imagine the foglight ones would be the same , he got them off ebay mate

May look nice but useless in fog !

White light reflects more off water droplets in misty/foggy conditions and causes driver visiblity problems.

That's why in days gone by all foglights had yellow bulbs which penetrate fog better.

Also hence orange sodium lighting was introduced to improve all round street visibility in poor conditions.

So there !!!! lol

Exactly right, they do look the business but absolute CACK when used in fog,
To be honest I would never have believed this but I am speaking from experience ,
I have recently changed ALL my LEDs back to halogen except for my reg plate ones,
Although this is due to personal taste
