I thought I'd try some led fog lights! I looked at many and bought the OPT7 5000K Bright White.... Set was $32 off of amazon and they have a 1yr warranty... Just installed them tonight and haven't had much driving on them so far I think they are good for the price. Figured I show others what I got if they are looking at led fog lights.
I like them, they have a larger diameter light patern when they shine on my garage door versus the stock they seem brighter to me and I don't notice any visibility difference(only drove 2 times so far with them).
Mine are not the plasma!
Here is the link to the ones I bought off of amazon OPT7 H10 LED
Ah, those are the better ones that just came out, found them on eBay for the same price too. I really like the look of them as I want to also do 5000k LED for my projector headlights.
Speaking of that, it appears that the DRL's use the low beam in the projector housing....do you know if that is the case?
Fog lights aren't supposed to help with distance vision one bit. They're designed for bad visibility conditions. Though some fogs help with headlight width, like x5 LED fog lights
RMA'd my Diode Dynamics L.E.D. fogs for the set twice as bright, see how that turns out. While waiting, I put the stock ones back in, looks funny with the HID's.
Forgot to say, they are the Diode Dynamics XP80 6000K LED Fogs. Loved the color and "instant on" of the first set I had from them, just wasn't bright enough.
Not even dark yet and I can already tell they are MUCH brighter than the first set, maybe even brighter than the stockers... Finally happy. LED headlights next??
Too bad LED replacement bulbs suck. Technology isn't even ther yet with car manufactures. My rx350 projectors outperform every LED headlight on the market currently
On the ability to blind people? I mean outside of living in the woods on an unlit dirt road, why? There really is only so much light you can project off the front of your car without punishing other drivers...
LED headlights have been around for years. Lexus started using them in 06 in the ls400h, it's not exactly new news. Still, I'll take my tuned projectors over LED(factory) headlights everyday. They just don't have the width that great HID projectors have. And a large majority of the great HID projectors come from Stanley or Koito, which Japanese vehicles use. This is what my malibu drives with

Mine are Lexus rx350 projectors that I retroed with osram CBIs bulbs. Are your projectors halogen with HIDs? Because they have a massive amount of glare above the cutoff, and it looks like the fogs have a crazy amount of glare too from those wall shots.
I mean, when I look at it, it come across like this... I've seen some bad ones with a ton of glare, but usually when HID's are put in normal housings, not usually when in projector housings.
I ordered the OPT7 H10 LED fog lights and can't wait to see what they look like. Now I'm thinking about getting the OPT7 H11 LED FluxBeam headlight set. Just curious if anyone has installed these and how they look?

I think you may have issues installing these because of the fan with the H11 and H7. The headlights in the Malibu have caps on them to keep dust and water out and with these lights you cannot use those caps any longer (and the fans can wear out and I have read others saying they can be noisy).
Here is what I used for my 2014, and everything fits inside the housing under the caps and keeps everything nice and neat.
