I would like to run these as fogs in my 2001 Lightning, but the factory rating is only for a 45 W bulb. Are the LEDs cool enough at 80W?

Yes, it would be no problem in your fog lights. They actually run cooler than halogen.

I have a 35w but I have the high & low beam HID bulbs and it would not work for the High beams on mine, I could only get low beams.

That is what it's designed for. Just make sure that the power draw is no more than 10 amps (120 watts). I recommend LED headlights as they draw far less power than incandescent bulbs.

These bulbs are approximately the same size as traditional 60w bulbs. If your current bulbs are the smaller 40w incandescents ... there might be a size issue. My advice would be to purchase the Crees, and even if they didn't fit ... you can always find other 60w bulbs in need of an energy-efficient upgrade!

As long as you have a flat surface to mount to and a clear path to run the wire then yes. They are very easy to install. I would strongly recommend going to Ace Hardware or a local hardware store and buying stainless steel bolts for mounting into the frame. Do not plan on using these lights as fog lights while driving on road!!! You WILL blind people and cause a wreck!!! THEY ARE BRIGHT!!! I purchased two sets of these lights for my Ford Raptor, one set of of floods and one set of driving lights. I would recommend the floods over the driving lights, much more usable light pattern.

DLJ, I've been running mine for quite sometime. They replaced 12v 4w incandescent bulbs and here is what I can say about these. The lumens is close to a 4w, the color is slightly cooler but still warm that people can't tell it's LED. The match up very nicely to 20w equivalent LED spotlights I put on the same system. And the beauty, not one bulb has gone out yet, running daily on a dusk timer for. 4, 6, or 8 hours depending on daylight season.

When I got mine, it came with an adapter to bump it to Quad headlights. I wired in some new relays and what not, so that the fogs and low beams stay on when you turn on the brights. If you get these, i'd get a higher wattage for for the low beam, the lenses do not allow for much light to pass through. I originally put 35 Watt HID lights in the low beams, they are not very bright, i would go with 55 Watt HIDs. However, if you put some 35 Watt HIDs into your fog lights (if you have them) they will be SUPER bright. These are great lights, when you remove the old headlights, if you don't know how, there is a trap door in the wheel well that will allow you to remove the back bracket off the light, and will save you from breaking it, as i did. If you know how do to a little wiring, these will be easy for you too hook up. They will look good on your truck!

The SMDs (LEDs) work on 3-3.6V. The current draw is between .02-.03A. There are 12 of these on each bulb. If you take the max values it comes to 1.296W ( 12 x .03 x 3.6). There might be some resistors that might be drawing some power. But overall you are doing way better than the factory bulbs. Update: I did a google search on these LEDs ( 1210). Vendors mention a consumption of .08 W per LED. For 12 it comes to .96W ( 12x.08).

Yes. No problem. I installed the CREE 75 watt equivalent warm light bulb and they're awesome. And since my lights are on dusk-to-dawn, the lower LED power use really is an advantage.

The main thing to worry about is what the wiring and harness can handle as far as current/wattage. However, most wiring can handle it as its not a huge increase in wattage, its the same as a normal house bulb after all. :) My original bulbs were rated at about 50W also, and these new bulbs have been working great since I put them in a year ago. Still working, no problems! Also, they look great and give better coverage than the stock bulbs I had in before.

These are fog lights for evening/night time. The lights wattage is 35-55 and the strip of lights are LED's.Please let me know if there is anything else i can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Shannon

What I purchased were 2 individual LED Utility lights that throw approximately 1200-1400 Lumens which for the price and life span 20k to 35k hours is more then incredible! Kind of funny ur asking me about these right now since I bought these a while back and I just got finished wiring them up 3 days ago. Sounds like ur looking for fog lights this may not be what ur looking for?

They are 67/60w, and they won't burn out stock wiring. This is according to Philips: http://m.usa.philips.com/m/car-lamps/x-tremevision-9003-12-v-67-60-w-9003xvs2/prd/en/

These lamps come with no wiring, so you'll have to find fog lamp wiring kit or you could use a HID Relay kit. They do not come with HID bulbs, so you'll need a complete H3 HID Kit if you want to head down that route. I did that, though I eventually switched to just using H3 LED Samsung bulbs, way less wattage and a crisper white color with no blue whatsoever. Also using LED's you won't need a really, just tap into a source for positive (such as your low beams) and ground your negative wiring to a frame bolt.

that i do not know. nothing seems to flicker, or dim when i turn them on. i actually have them wired into old aftermarket fog light wires.

I just called CREE and the customer service rep told me that the 40, 60, and 70W replacement bulbs are ok for an enclosed fixture. The 100W bulb is not.

Most HID blubs are manufactured with 35W in mind. These blubs will operate at 55W, however they will emit much more heat, will glow a slightly different color, usually a cooler color on the Kelvin scale, and will not last as long as with 35W blubs. With the cost of Chinese HID blubs, I would say go for it. Make sure that the headlight housing you are using can withstand the extra heat generated from a 55W HID blub. Typically go with the current draw from your stock blubs. If your car used 55W incandescent blubs, then you are good to use 55W HID blubs.
