First legit LED fog replacement for Tahoe Yukon (maybe)

[soulsea]

Would these be very effective in a projector fog housing? I'll be the guinea pig if they would work just as good in a projector.

What projector fog housing are we talking about and what base socket does it have?

I mean it's a forward facing led so I see no reason why it shouldn't work the same way with or without a projector ... although it must be noted that depending on the quality and type of projector, heat dissipation might be an issue. Hence why I ask what type of projector.

Stock projector on my wives equinox. Base is a H11.

I know those projectors very well, i used to have a pair to retrofit at some point. They're metal so you should be fine heat wise. I also think these bulbs are perfect for this application.

edit.. wonder how they would look with some of their super-white headlight bulbs.. i dont really want to do HIDs without projectors on this beast.

You mean the blue coated halogen bulbs?

Blue coating does result in a whiter light, it does however rob you of lumens. The darker the coating to achiever a whiter light the less light will get though. Not to a dangerous degree, just slightly less light.

i dont think my Silverstars were blue coated? And they were a brighter white.

I guess I could just throw some scattered 4300k HID bulbs in there just to make Serge bang his head against a wall... I dunno

 

[soulsea]

There are other ways to make halogen light appear whiter, it involves the actual design of the bulb and the way it burns ... it is those changes that give Silverstars and other similar bulbs a shorter shelf life, for that is the price they pay for the whiter light. So some brands do whiter halogen light by design sacrificing life hours, others by coating which keeps life hours longer but sacrificing lumens.
