H-11 LED Fog Light Bulbs for the LR4

magnumforc · Apr 20, 2014

Has anyone changed out their fog light bulbs for the high power 80 or 88 watt LED H-11 bulbs? I want more light and it seems 80 watts of pure white light in the 6500K range would beat the 55 watt halogens in there now. Simple swap of plug and play, some already CANBUS protected. But I don't want to toss out $50-60 if these are no better than what we already have.

Your thoughts?

You will need to find out if the factory/wire harness will handle the amps required for those bulbs.
If you want bright lights consider a set of HID's that run on only 3 or 4 amps and are brighter then hell.

I switched out my fog lights for LED lights (H11). They look great and are very crisp white, but do not really produce much light. I don't think they are the ones you are referring to?

I am likely going to switch to an HID kit.

I haven't looked at it, but how difficult is it to remove / replace the fog lights?

I don't care for the stock yellowish color they produce.

Too easy. They are accessed from the front by removing the bezel.

Bit the bullet and ordered a pair of these. Supposed to be CANBUS protected with a resistor, so no fault codes. Hopefully they are crisp and bright for the price!

Just be careful when you pull off the covers, the clips can break. I found using an old credit card worked very well. In addition, I taped off the holes in the housing with tape, as it is very easy to loose a screw down into your bumper never to return.

Good info from Finlay and Surfrider. I thnk the 88 watt will be bright enough and don't want the hassle of going the complete HID route. The LED's draw so little amps that the only issue you likely have is the CANBUS warning if the LR is so equipped. I know the BMW's were and few of the LED's bothered the system except critical lights like tail, headlight or directional, repeaters, etc.

I went the other route and turned them into actual fogs. Yellow H11 bulbs. I guess that is my nod to the old merc's i grew up driving.

I almost went that route, as the yellow you can actually see in the fog!

My current LEDs match the LED accents very well, but do not emit much light.
