Fog light bulbs with highest lumens non HID

[Khao5]

im planning on picking up a pair of silverstar ultras this weekend for my yukons hi/lows . sylvania's site doesnt list any bulbs for the 5202 fogs. i dont want to use any pnp 25w hids for the fogs if i can help it because i dont like the look of HIDs without a projector . does anyone have and recommendations on a higher lumen bulb for the fogs ? preferably that will have a similar color to the silverstar ultras so it will match but that isnt a must. increased light output is more important. thanks

do a CREE style LED, good ones are usually listed around 450 lumens...\

check out V-LED.com

the VLED says its 850 LM total output , meaning combined not a piece correct ? so its not as bright as the nokya

You see the size of the metal haetsink behind the leds on the Nokya? That's why they cost twice as much as the v-led ones.

The v-led are decent led bulbs and are easier to instal ... the Nokya ones are OE quality, however they are strong and they will glare almost as much as a 25W hid kit.

For what it's worth I run the v-leds ones, but they're just for show to match my hid projectors, I never actually use them for extended periods of time.

The issue is the size of the Tahoe/Yukon fog lamps ... they are so small that they just don't reflect that much light.

yeah the heat sink was the first thing i noticed. will the nokya be ok running longer amounts of time ? i do lots of long hwy trips . i also noticed the nokya link said it requires a Quick Splice Connector" is that basically a Scotch Lok ?

I'm actually not exactly sure what that means, I'm crap at wiring.

But I do know you won't need the optional resistors tho.

whats in those boxes

I think those are the optional resistors.

Actually maybe not ... it looks like a small harness that's part of them: http://mtqinc.com/nokyausa/downloads/ledbulb_manual.pdf

i wish they made a 5k to match the LEDs i have , but that 6k looks pretty white so i think ill give the nokya a shot
