What size buld did you use? I have a OBS with fog lights and may order rear and fog's if they fit my fog lights. Also did you grab them here in the city?

Would you say that they were brighter than the stock fogs?

Brighter hmmmm no, match my HIDs better yeah and as my HIDs produce a lot more light they are really there just to look good and they do, that projector does a lot for them. Wanted to try them out, will I switch to HID fogs later, it's possible

the reverse lights are plug and play, you can put led break light bulbs in but require a resistor. Without the resistor you'll most likely lose cruise control.

I currently have HID fogs in my Esky and it looks clean but wanted to try something else.

What do you mean by no china junk? I can show you bulbs that are identical to the ones you bought that are Chinese made. The Cree led themselves are made in the US, but the bulbs are made in China or another one of those countries.
Cree is a US based company but they have had manufacturing plants in China since I believe 2006. It's a world economy now days and unfortunately it's very tough for a company to remain competitive and manufacture in the US what with labor costs and environmental concerns and such. Do I like it? No but I understand the reality.

It's really not fair to base your opinion of a product based solely on its country of origin. Instead you need to look at that companies reputation and policies, and be an informed consumer. When buying no name components off eBay at the lowest bid though, and no company to be liable for poor products, well buyer beware is all I can say.
There really aren't any products that I know of from a reliable company for plug and play bulbs. Well, Elef and Vleds have earned some creditable reputation perhaps. It's a difficult market though and perhaps a bit on the gray side of things. Not sure about the legality of making them for consumers.
DIY is best to me anyhow
