This review will compare the Vanquish Auto 50w CREE LED Fog Lights ($39.99) versus the NEW Vanquish Auto 1200 LMS PHILIPS LED Fog Lights ($119.99).
(You can see my review of the Vanquish Auto 50w CREE LED Fog Lights versus stock 25w halogenbulbs here: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/thre...cree-led-fog-light-bulbs-psx26w-review.85767/)
The 50w CREE LED lights consist of 10 x 5w LEDS (2 on each of 4 sides and 2 on end). The 80w PHILIPS LED lights consist of 8 x 10w LEDS (4 on each of 2 sides). See photos below for comparison.
Conclusion: Installation of both lighting options is quite easy. Most people will not find the need to remove any parts other than to just swap out the lights. There isn't a ton of space to work with but it can be done, see alternative installation options below. The only additional step required when installing the 80w lights over the 50w is that you will need to secure the 80w LED controllerso that it does not move around, see details below. The 80w lights are significantly brighter and are made almost completely of aluminum to help dissipate any heat. Even though the 80w lightsare brighter, they will also be less intrusive/blinding to oncoming traffic due to the LED orientation within the lamp, see details below.
The 80w LED lights have an adjustable heat sink at the base. It allows you to swap the direction of the heat sink to allow it to fit in a variety of locations. This adjustment should NOT be required when installing on any 2015-2017 Tahoe/Yukon. I do recommend you tighten the heat-sink screw (requires a 1.5mm allen/hex wrench, which is included) prior to installing the lights so that it does not loosen when installing or over time.
If you have the $119.99 to spend the Vanquish Auto 1200 LMS PHILIPS LED Fog Lights are a great product. If they are out of your budget I still highly recommend the Vanquish Auto 50w CREE LED Fog Lights. Either way you go you'll get Vanquish Auto's 3 year warranty, which is better than most other options out there.
