Replacement led fog lights

#1 by DaleH , Sat Mar 31, 2018 6:01 pm

Hi all.
Looking at replacing my fog lights in my 05 classic as the old ones have lost all the reflective coating and are totally useless.

Want to get led ones but not really sure what to get. So if anyone has some recommendations, I'd love to hear them.

Been seeing lots of cobs with halo rings for drl but, being an old girl, my truck doesn't have daytime running lights so don't know how they'd work wiring wise!

@mutley2710 obviously those lights aren't just a bolt on job. So they need brackets making to mount to your bumper. If you want to use the same as me that is. I can always make a second set wile I'm at it if your not able to yourself 👍

I have the 3" ones on mine - had them for about 6 months. To be honest, they are cheap ebay crap (as expected)-light output is very poor, and the COB DRL bit died fairly quick leaving one side dimmer than the other. I am keeping an eye out for a round LED worklight with a 3.5" diameter. Loads of ads on Ebay, but seem to be either too small or too big.

Cheap ones from Ali express. Works fine so far.
