I went with a 6000k Cree SMD to match my 6000k Philips D4S HIDS

Did you have to modify the LED bulb plastic tabs to fit the housing?
You happen to have pics of which tabs to remove?

I'm a big fan of functional foglights so HID 3000K was the way to go for me. H16 bulbs are almost a direct fit with just a snip of a tab. They work very well. Just be prepared for some bubbling distortion right above the bulb of the plastic backing from the heat raising... It's almost unnoticeable. (Stay under 55W if you don't want to melt the housing...)

Cheers!

I've read that the H16 beign 55W WILL most probably melt the housing.

I went with these (the middle ones):

Very bright and very nice color.

What about these for the fog lights? They should fit since they are psx24w.

They are rated at 600 lumens.
