LED fog lights causing Radio Frequency issues?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I messed around for a couple hours last night trying to get the LMZ fogs installed. Found my biggest problem to be that the heat sink at the back end of the led near the fan was actually hitting my fog light housing where the adjustment knob to aim the foglight is. I was able to trim the shoulder off of it to get the led to clear that portion, but still did not have any luck with proper fitment into the housing. With them both installed to the best of my ability all I had to do was wiggle the wires and they would work their way out of the housings. One good thing I will say though is the there was no radio frequency interference with these led's compared to the last set. At the end of the night I decided to remove them and send them back. I'm not paying $136 for a set of fog lights that won't even snap into my housing properly and will surely let condensation and water in. I will continue my search to find a good set of leds for this truck. Just wanted to let you guys know the outcome and thank you for your help.

 

I bought many other sets of LED fog light bulbs in 5202, seems like anything non standard will have issues going in. Not just the LMZ having issues. but if you can find a set that snaps in no issue, let us know

The first aftermarket kit I installed (Gennsi) went in and snapped into the housings just fine, and worked perfectly other than the RFI. The LMZ kit is absolutly horrible compared to that or the stock bulbs. I specifically made sure to ask Vled's before purchasing if I had problems with the kit that they would take care of it and they assured me that they would. Now that I've had the problems and need to send them back I have to pay for the return shipping they tell me? I have to say I'm not really impressed at all with this transaction as the ONLY reason they are going back is because of the poor quality of craftsmanship and ability to fit in the housings and apparetnly now thats my problem. Any other time I've ever had an issue with a part the company will send a prepaid shipping label for the return but they told me "we don't do that." I would not recommned vleds to anyone on this site based off my personal experiece. I will find something out there that fits and works properly just a matter of time.

I have to take back some of what I said in my last post. After continued conversations with vled's they did end up sending me a prepaid shipping label for the return.
