Default Re: Are These the Correct LEDs?

This is exactly what I used in my car - they work great and are a huge improvement over the stock lighting pattern/output. I have no regrets whatsoever.

However, be aware of the following:
- The stock sheet metal buckets need to be slightly modified to allow these to fit. Specifically, there is a small "bump" on one side of each bucket, that needs to be trimmed away for these to fit. I used a Dremel tool with a cutting disk and simply cut off the sheet metal in that area. That worked fine and there is plenty of material around the cut to provide strength.
- You will need to modify the foglamp wiring to ensure that the foglamps work. I was not able to make load resistors work with these LEDs. I did the "Yun mod" on the foglamp relay and that worked out perfectly.
- The LED units are quite a bit heavier than the stock plastic headlamps. My headlamp motors (specifically the plastic pellets inside) were already on their last legs and pretty much gave up after I made this mod. Replaced the pellets and all is well again.

Finally, be aware that this unit is available in a black background (as pictured) and also in chrome. I chose chrome as I think it looks better / closer to stock. YMMV.

Ditto... if you know what that means.

I put them in 3 different cars they fit right in no mods.

I tried those briefly but wasn't super impressed with the light output. I'm running the Genessi 7x6 and I'm really happy with them, they are closer to $200 for the pair though. And yes the Jeep XJ and Corvette are the same, I own those exact two cars lol

Thanks everyone... They'll be here Friday. I hate driving my Z at night.... and the wife forget it... she is white knuckling it the whole ride... I figure for $85.00 they're worth a shot over the yellow stockers.

The box says A0102, they are a little difficult to track down, I think I found them on Amazon. I thought I did a write up on them here but perhaps not, I do have a write up with pics on Facebook (Locobobs ZR-1 Page)

Hey Jeff,
Was the installation for the fog lights very difficult?
