LUX LED Fog Lights??

mds82 · 12-03-2009, 06:13 PM

Been running some numbers and i've got a new idea and concept ready to go.. LUX LED Fog Lights.

These would be 100% plug-and-play and they would fit into the OEM Housing. They would provide a perfect 6500k Color and would be bright

Brightness - 1400 Lumen

Lifespan - Virtually forever

Price - Roughly $225

These would be make to fit H8 and H11 housings

Whats the potential interest in these??

BoostedCosta · 12-03-2009, 06:30 PM

im down if the price goes down

Soni · 12-03-2009, 06:30 PM

what are the pros and cons VS HID kit which a lot of us are already using one?

sidekick96 · 12-03-2009, 06:35 PM

+1 if color matchup with the stock Xenons!

AlpineG05 · 12-03-2009, 06:39 PM

a little cheaper...and maybe, any pictures?

Tee212 · 12-03-2009, 06:47 PM

Im down, but thats pretty $$ for lights I hardly use. The unlimited lifespan would pay for themselves in the long run tho.

If these go into production, you should do a package deal too - LUX AE's + LUX Fogs.
I would have gone for that if the price was reasonable.

DESI4life10 · 12-03-2009, 08:22 PM

A good idea. Also interested in finding out the pros and cons because for a cheaper price you get xenons fogs.

mds82 · 12-03-2009, 08:45 PM

Pro's
- There would be a virtually unlimited Lifespace for these
- They would be 100% error free without having to use any resistor cables

This.

Craig@SupremePower · 12-03-2009, 09:48 PM

colors?

Amir87 · 12-04-2009, 12:44 AM

Are there even strong enough LED's that can actually illuminate the road to use as real fogs?

Just wondering, if they were bright as hell, I'd get them in a heartbeat at that price range.

bobblehead · 12-04-2009, 06:02 AM

@ 1400 lumens ....it's about 1.5X more light than a traditional halogen bulb.

I have HID fog (just under 3000 lumens) with the digital Canbus ballast and use it for both look & functonality.

I would be interested. Your reputation is stellar, so that makes it even more interesting to me.

These would be in the range of 1400 lumen. OEM bulbs are around 650-700 Lumen. Any Halogen bulb that's 6500k or 8000k has an output closer to 500 lumen or less due to the blue coating on the outside of the bulb

So - Yes, these will be MUCH brighter then stock bulbs, and will blow away any colored halogen bulb.

Euro_E93 · 12-04-2009, 10:47 AM

count me in! i've been wondering why no one has developed a LED solution for the fogs yet.

I knew you would chime in here eventually!!!

ctgazer · 12-04-2009, 01:07 PM

interesting...how well would they "project" in the oem housing?

doggiedog · 12-04-2009, 01:34 PM

I bought the LUX H8s and am pretty happy with them.

I would prefer the fogs to be yellow though.
