Would installing these in my 55W fog lights make them more effective in fog, rain, &amp; snow; or would the extra light output just be counterproductive?

In fog, yes it would be counterproductive, bright light reflects back. In rain and snow conditions I would prefer a brighter light for more coverage and to better see worn lane lines.

I feel that the light output on these are greater then regular led bulbs. I use them as backup lights and it gives me greater visibility then stock and regular LED's.

I apologize for not knowing the correct answer since I did not installed then myself. One technician did it fir me, although this was a very simple issue for him. The lights are working wonderfully. Very much as expected, but the pending question is do they last as long as they are suppose to? Will see.

I just wired them with my car's daytime running headlights. It might ask you to attach them to the battery. I'm sure either works. Mine didn't have fog lights before, it should work fine.

not it does, these don´t fit directly into the fog light holes. it has other form and don´t fit correctlly. the light goes out of the road. you may have correccion on the supports and some changes. Really i´m very ungry with that. but i live out of the USA and i´ll spend too much if i want get back the item. (sorry my English. I´m Spanish spoken)

they are bright enough to blind oncoming traffic, a lot would depend on how you have them aimed. i installed mine in a winch bumper, it is hard to tell if it the lights themselves or if it is the bumper causing issues with the light pattern, but I am unimpressed with these lights. I purchased a set of 5 inch KC fogs for the other mounts in the bumper and they work very nicely.

It depends on what you want. The fog lights will cast a short, low, wide light pattern good for low visibility situations such as dust/snow/fog or heavy rain. Driving lights are meant to cast a narrow high intensity pattern over great distances - kind of like high beams but much stronger.

That would be a horrible position to mount this type of fog light. The beam pattern would pretty much get lost that high up, and all you'd accomplish would be to dazzle other drivers. Fog lights should be mounted as close to the ground as possible. They have a very flat beam with a sharp cutoff, designed to get under the fog layer (there's usually a clear layer of air between the road surface and the fog) and illuminate the road without reflecting back in your eyes.

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

I see no problem with this project. Figure out where and how you wanna mount them, cut wires & splice new lights in. In my case I didnthave fog lights at all, so I created completely independent circuit with own relay, fuse & switch. Works just fine

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. Good luck!!!

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

Ehhh, not really because they aren't bright enough, it's the light pattern. These work fantastic for backup lights or work lights. For fog lights you want the beam to cut tight under the fog BUT these would work great to illuminate the sides of the road...be sure and get 30 degree beams to get as much light out in front of you.

I replaced my fog light bulbs in a Touareg, output is good but very white light. I don't see these bulbs good for a primary driving light.

They would probably help with snow flying around. The fog protection is primarily from a series of vent holes along the inside of the top border, so you should keep a small strip next to your eyebrows exposed to minimize fogging.Also, there's a clear version of these, if you want to be able to see in dim conditions; the dark coloring does have an impact on sight. Works fine for bright or moderately lit areas, but dim areas can be a problem.

I just keep mine on and use my fog lights at night. Don't want the chance the Velcro start to ware and fly off, so I put them on and never take them off

Yes these will do it! I like them a lot. I put them in my fog lights and low beams and they are way better than regular lights. Very pleased with them.
