Ever thought about machine finish grille inserts ?

I put LEDs in my fog lights tonight. I did this a while back, but didn't like the output of the LEDs back then, so I returned them. I don't really use the fogs in the city, but figured it would be nice to have them a bit brighter and whiter when I flash all my lights on using the Fleece Performance
GM All Lights On Module.

These LUYED brand bulbs from Amazon are loaded with a 900 Lumens/78 piece/360 degree tower and look pretty good, given the weak output that the NBS fog light housings give off. Perhaps not the cheapest bulbs out there for pretty much an auxiliary light that does not get used all the time at $16.99/pair, but pretty happy with the at/near 6000K color and output to match my DRLs and Prime shipping is always a winner.

Here's the link on Amazon.

And now the comparison pics. Before you guys beat me up, I know the Depos need a retrofit to complete the front end and get rid of the yellow halogens, but at least they are projectors. The retro will have to wait for now.




Passenger fog OEM and Driver fog LED.



Both fogs LED.

Yes I have thought about maybe something like NeverSatisfied has on his crew cab and the HD grille as well, but I am pretty happy with the CM OEM grille right now. I like the clean look of the front end with the all clear lights (no amber in the LED DRLs). Always open to suggestions.

When I baked open my fogs and removed the chrome cap inside they got a lot brighter. Just a thought and a fun project to do if you so choose.
Btw I didn't put it in the oven I simply used a heat gun.

That's strange. I'd think without the reflector it would've gotten duller, not brighter.

Considerably brighter. It's not a reflector but more of a deflector for oncoming traffic. Same as newer headlights , It's low enough being a fog and it's design that It doesn't bother other drivers.
I did the same in my 05 silverado heads with hids. Back then it was a dick move lol
