Ever since I get my LED fog lights put in, I hate how it looks with halogen bulbs above them. The place I happen to get my fog installed at has LED bulbs (4000k) on sale for almost 1/2 price($179.99 reg, on sale $99.99) until the 8th of july. I know there is more then putting in the bulbs & done. What else would I need to do it properly so I don’t blind other drivers?

The difference:

You need an LED reflector housing. The standard bulbs are dim enough you can get away with sloppy edges and they don’t really need a ton of focusing. LEDs on the other hand are super bright and need to be focused properly so they don’t blind other drivers.

To not blind other drivers? Don’t do it at all. I have yet to encounter an OEM setup that isn’t way more light than I need coming at me or in my mirrors. And that’s if they’re polite enough to dim them soon enough...
