LED Fog light swap
I recently put on new led headlights but now my fog lights are still the stock light color (don’t know what’s it’s called). Would it be possible to put in a led bulb so the fog lights match the headlights and are brighter. Where can I get led bulbs that I can just unplug the old and plug in the new and reassemble the light.

Most LED lights are about a 6k color your stock fog light color is a bout a 5k and yes you can put a LED bulb in those lighs . I think you need a H3 bulb .

I ended up replacing the fog lights with these. The stock fogs where kind of useless.

Was that the case?
I kind of like that idea.

They are not a direct fit. The lens fills the cavity completely but the housing is bulky and floats behind the shroud. I had to make a simple bracket to move them forward into the cavity.

They are great for annoying oncoming drivers without putting much useful light on the road. I really wish people would stop thinking of them as driving lights or even an upgrade to have on a vehicle. US DOT spec lights in general suck. Don't even get me started on the 2014 Cherokee putting the headlights way down low on the nose.
