GMC: MORIMOTO XB LED FOGS

[GMC-AT]

Not getting an response inside the thread... so I wanted to make a new one.

 

For you guys that have these installed - http://www.theretrofitsource.com/complete-headlight-fog-light-housings/morimoto-xb-led-fog-lights-type-gm-h16.html#.Vie3M36rRjL

 

1. Are these ok to use in traffic with low beams? They won't blind drivers?

 

2. How easy is it to remove the old fog lights out of the housing?

 

3. I have the VLED bulbs installed in the factory fog lamp already, would these offer a big improvement?

 

4. I have the TRS 4500 HID kit also installed ( my regular headlights) - will these match?

 

thanks in advance for any help..

I can answer #2. The fog lense comes out real easy. You just have to pinch the tabs on each leg and it pops right out. To replace the bulbs I found it much easier to remove the whole lense than to just replace the bulbs from under the truck.

 

Which VLED fogs do you already have? I put the XD fogs in but ordered the VLED fogs that have the fans and put out 3000 lm. They are suppose to arrive tomorrow. I almost went with the Morimoto's and will switch over if the VLEDS don't work good.

I can't remember.. they are just the VLED that match the HID headlamps. The VLED fog lights bulbs looks better.. but they don't put out too much light in front.. they help light up the sides of the road a little bit.

 

I think the TRS replacement package would be better, since that is an entirely new housing that actually projects the fog light beam...?

1. Ok to run with lows. They are adjustable

2. Squeeze the tabs on the retainers and they come right off.(I had to modify the retainer for the MB's so they sit flush)

3. Match I cant answer that but they are pure white with just barely a touch of blue. To me anyway.

 

They have a nice wide pattern depending on how your lows are set they light up everything under them and very wide side to side bright. They are not spotters but true driving lights.

I am also considering these for my truck. Please lets see some pics with them in action.

I bought these from Amazon.com a couple months ago ($200) and I am very impressed. I was using an LED bulb before that in the stock housing. Night and day difference for light output. I still run the stock halogen bulb in the headlights and these help those out considerably.

 

I pulled the factory fog light out and transferred over the mounting posts. I found that putting the black clips in the holes before pressing the fog light in worked out better because I was pushing the mounting post past the 'lock-in' point on the black clips and the foglight housing was loose and out of alignment more so than normal.

 

When looking directly at the light it's white, viewing at an angle looks more blue. I angled them down to where I think they light up the road the best and since it's pretty easy to see the cut off line these lights produce I would assume they aren't blinding oncoming traffic.

great feedback... thanks.

I did forget to mention that I had to reverse the plug in order for mine to light up. They send a little paper that explains some vehicles have the polarity reversed and you have to do this no big deal it snaps in either way.

Definitely going this route....I have been holding out on the Rigid SAE Fogs but the price was just a lot to swallow. I realize these aren't much cheaper, but the fact that I don't have to hack up my housing takes it for the win!

ok, got them installed. Super easy. Just remember to turn the connector the other way. I also wrapped them with some elec tape to insure they stay fit.. then I tie wrapped the wire harness nice and snug. Also .. you need to take out one retainer ( adjustment retainer) on the original fog light and transfer to the new light.

 

Result - they are pretty good... defiantly better on the sides of the road. They have a true cut off line. Keep in mind, I had VLEDS installed in my factory fog lights before... that's what I'm comparing them too. Compared to stock bulbs - they are even more better.

Lol fog* housing.

The Silverado spec led fog lights will be out in 6-8 weeks. At least that's what they told me.
