A month ago I purchased a set of Morimoto XB LED fog lights. They look nice, were easy to install and adjust, but they aren't much brighter than stock Halogens. I had time tonight to see what my options are and I'm going to put Super Nova LED H11 (V.4) bulbs into the original housings. They will be 2+ times brighter than stock bulbs. There is a video on youtube showing both side by side with the actual lux readings. (200 lux halogen fogs compared to Morimoto 320 Lux compared to 720 Lux Super Nova LEDs in same Halogen housings)
Here is the link to the Morimoto Led fogs that I don't like. https://www.headlightrevolution.com/dodge-ram-morimoto-xb-led-LF-RAM1500_2?quantity=1
What sucks is the picture on the page is a little misleading. The picture looks like nice driving lights but in reality they are low output fog lights.
So buyer beware. Don't purchase these expecting very bright lights, these are not.
From what I learned about Fog Lights, manufacturers tend to keep "Fog Light" illumination down because fog tends to scatter light and more brighter light is not necessarily better. We all drove in the fog and when you flip your hi beams on, you see a lot less because of the fog.... But I want brighter fog lights so in the rain on dark back roads, I won't drive into a tree. Maybe I'm too old to see? Or I find these lights just too dim.
I have no ill feelings with the company I purchased these from. I simply waited too long to return them. That is my fault.
