Greetings Explorer Peers!
It's becoming quite clear that LED and LASER technology are the way of the future for automotive lighting. HID's are still the go-to for best bang for your buck lighting performance and even come stock in many high end vehicles, however- they're soon to be outdated as times progress. HIDs are extremely bright and are much more efficient than halogens, unfortunately cheap aftermarket, mass-manufactured setups that are imported overseas at low cost give them a bad rep. The best HIDs go for at least $175, even with this mid-grade pricing, sometimes- though very rare, they do have a chance of failure- whether it is the HID Bulb, Ballast, or possibly even the harness.
When building these, I wanted something that was a quick replacement, a true plug and play. I also wanted them to be extremely efficient- low power draw and prevent heat-soak which would mean power loss overall. I did not want to have to deal with placing the ballast in a strategic position and worry about if it would hang/fall from a non-secure position. With this in mind, I came up with a TRUE LED foglight setup that was an easy swap and play setup!
Highlights:
DIRECT PLUG AND PLAY
Low current draw with an opposing High Lumen Output
LED reliability
Completely waterproof
Extremely Bright
Specs:
Power: 9 Watts
Current Draw: 0.7 Amps
Color rating: 4500K
