LED fog light bulbs
Just curious, has anyone used these or a similar product? Results? They seem like they would work well in a basic projector style fog light but im weary to try them without knowing. I want to purchase aftermarket projectors, but not HID. Im jsut looking at options, any opinions?

They won't work for crap as a replacement for an H3 lamp, if your goal is to have functional (as opposed to cosmetic) fog lights.
A housing designed for an H3 lamp expects to have a single somewhat long filament placed horizontally at the reflector's focal point--there is no way that multiple LEDs (practically point sources) can duplicate that.
The other issue is output. A standard H3 is 55W (1450 Lumens), there is also available a 100W (2300 Lumen) H3 lamp. Once again, there is no way that any aggregation of LEDs, that could fit in an H3 form factor, could produce that kind of output...
