I think you're going to have some difficulty finding exactly what you want, especially given the color temp you're after and your budget. Only one of the products you linked are close to 3000K and those are the switchbacks, everything else is going to be basically pure white (6000K and up).

Diode Dynamics makes 3000K fog LEDs but those are probably where the "I'm not going to spend $150 on lights" is coming from.

After running LED replacements for my lows, highs, and fogs (all around 6000K) I bit the bullet and bought Diode Dynamics SS3 pods in amber. Huge difference in output, not just visibility.

Wish I could be more help, maybe someone has some resources you haven't come across.

 

I believe the Fahren's fit, and according to my tests, they perform very very well.

 

Do you happen to know if these are the Y13's?

Thanks for the reply!

I just need something better than the stock low beams, it doesn't need to be #1 in the ranking.
Amazon used to sell this Turbo SII brand leds, my 2009 ford escape had 3000k fogs from that brand and they were pretty decent for a reflector light. For some reason that brand is gone.
I would pretty much take any 3000k that is better than the stock fogs. I cant justify anything pricey, I drive to work and home but its dark winter driving so I wanted the 3000k to help stand out during these gross winter flurries.

I COULD settle for the 6000k spectrum though, I noticed my fogs are pretty much trash right now.

 

ah darn. btw your videos are great. the detail you go through is just perfect.

 

Thanks, I really appreciate that!

Hey!

I live in Saskatoon, I bought Diode Dynamics SL1 (H11) low beams and have used their fog lights as well. They fit behind the dust cap and the difference in light output is night and day.

There's a company here in town that you can buy them from and I highly recommend dealing with these guys

EssKCustoms Low beams

SLF Fog lights

 

I'm leaning towards the Sealight X1 as of now.

thanks for the suggestion neighbor. but my frugal butt cant justify those prices.🐔

 

I have Sealight LEDs in my 2017 for 5 years now and happy with them.
Proper cutoff, good light throw, good on center beam and wide side throw and way brighter than stock or even upgrade halogen.

Low Beam Sealight LED - - - -

 

These are the S1 right?

 

UPDATE:

Ordered Auxito 5202 Fogs in 3000k. Will take a while to get here but the price was right and the customer photos of them on were great. Will update with photos and future updates when I get the H11 low beams in.

 

Update:

Been a busy little bit here. I finally got a hold of some Auxito 3000k 5202's. I believe they are just the heat sink ones which is fine with me. I work at a trades school and a lab tech that works with this type of stuff said heat sinks will work better than something with a fan because of the potential failure of a fan in an enclosed space is high. Something about how fans just move hot air around but isn't the greatest application for cooling. He used to work for Brabham motor sports or something in the UK so I trust his advice.

Was about to order the Fahrens, then about to order the Auxito YS13's for low beams. But might just settle for the Sealight X1 or S1's.

Will install tomorrow with pics. It's just too frickin cold and windy here 6.8F / -14c but feels like -7.6F/-22c

 

Just so you know , The Auxito H11 DO NOT fit under the dust cap !

 

I didn't know and thank you for the info! This will be helpful for future people as well. I'd love to have a master list made eventually.

 

I run the Auxito headlights in my 2015 Z71 and they fit just fine under the stock dust caps

That was hell.

Driver side wheel well liner had 1 rusted out screw that i could not remove. Could only remove the bottom 2, giving me very limited space to work with.

I was able to easily remove the old bulb. The new led did not clip in easily. It took approximately 30-45 minutes playing with it.

The passenger side had the exact same issue. I experimented by swapping the red O-rings from the old bulb onto the new. Oddly this seemed to make it work because it clipped in on the next try. I was pushing like a mad man trying to get both in, it just wouldn't clip in. I don't know what the issue was, so for now I'll say it was the O-ring

The lights seem evenly distributed, no scatter. They are a perfect golden yellow, no green tint. The image may not accurately show it.

They are significantly brighter than factory bulbs. They illuminate all the ice and snow formations on the road. The factory ones didn't do a great job of that.

Next step are the low beams.

 

Calgarian chiming in here.. I'm jealous by everyone's reports of LED's lasting multiple years. I've been running LEDs since the truck was new, and I've had to switch them out every 2 years due to flickering, fans stopping, and chips burning out. I've gone through a bunch of amazon brands, and have swapped out a few generally due to performance or color. I personally like the 4000 kelvin look more than the cool blue at 6k. I think I've been the most happy with the sealights, although they died 1 month after warranty expired. Running the hikari's right now. Went through a bunch of LED fogs, and went back to the stock halogens with lamin-x yellow vinyl instead. I found the regular bulbs went further, and the warmth helped rid the ice build up down there.

 

How bad is your ice build up ? I'm in SK and I keep a spray bottle of windshield de-icer rags to clean off the headlights, fogs and tail lights. Ive never had issues with ice on my fogs.


Auxito fogs from aliexpress as amazon did not carry them. SK climate will really test these out since we get maybe the coldest winters and the wicked hot summers lately.

 

I don't have issues with ice on normal driving, but if I'm in the mountains in the winter and it's actively snowing, I get some pretty thick ice after I park. I suspect it's due to warm headlights and ice / slush melting and hardening on there.

 

I'm late with this update. I ended buy buying Sealight H11 from Amazon

These Auxito 5202 3000k
ones from Aliexpress

And so the end result looks like this.

I don't often use the fogs unless it's on poorly lighted roads or bad weather conditions. They are incredibly bright.

The Sealight H11s Leds are a significant improvement from the factory halogens.

 

I also bought these cheap 194 leds for the side markers. I got white but it made my side markers look yellow. They are brighter. I'm not sure if I like the new yellow side marker look, i might buy some orange leds to make them look orange again.
