LED Replacement Bulbs for VS Fog Lamps

Cole Thompson-Cole Thompson-2009 VS - Laporte, CO

I have the VS factory fog lamps that appear to be Halogens. They use so much power that whenever I use them my alternator light comes on and if I run them too long, it blows a fuse. So I decided to swap them out with some LED bulbs.

I thought I’d take the bulb out so that I could identify it and find the LED replacement, but I couldn’t get the bulb out. After mangling it pretty good, I found that the bulb leads were soldered in!

So, does anyone have any LED experience with these fog lights? Here’s what the bulb looks like:

7C114E44-4AB7-4527-940A-8397BCAA230D

I don’t use the fog lights that often, so I’d prefer to just fix these with LED’s rather than purchase new fog lights.

Thanks for any help!

Cole

The "Focusing" part of those bulbs is a way of moving the light source closer to or farther away from the lens.  As you move it in or out, the light pattern ahead will go from a wide floodlight pattern (used in fog lights) to a focused spotlight pattern (used in driving lights).  They may look great on your first install, or you can play with them til you get the pattern you like best.

I agree H3, they are so cheap why do you want to change them to LED's?  Especially if you have relays on them.  I have marchalls that I converted to H3 from Tungsten  because they are much easier to handle then tungsten bulbs that burn out all the time.   BTW the H3 have been there for over 3 years with no issues.  Kiss method works for me as the lense must be focused and LED's unless made to pattern itself after the original bulb reacts differently with light spread.  just saying.
