Default LED Fogs and Reverse

I put these on my car and love them.

I was wondering if anybody else has used them and what they thought about them.

I am considering buying the LED Headlamps to match.

looks nice but let us see a pic from inside the car looking at the range of the front lights and where did you get these at?

I'll try to get a pic of that soon.
It gives a nice blue hue to the area around the car.

Ebay has all just about every bulb for our vehicle in a LED.

LOVE the reverse lights, but do the fogs have any range and output using the LEDs? They look dark in that pic.

I have LED fogs, and they don't put out as mush light as the halogens. The just look good with HID's.

They do only give limited range, but they are functional and like LEV said, they look nice as a accent.

I tried the LED bulbs in the brake lights also but you couldn't see them during the day, and really didn't look that much different from the stock bulbs at night.

The advantage to LEDs in the rear are not necessarily additional brightness, although they have come a long way with that in recent years, but the speed at which they light and that other perceive it at. LEDs come to full brightness 0.4-0.6 sec faster than incandescent bulbs and they are perceived by the driver behind you much sooner because of their instant on abilities.
