Any BRZ owners have LEDs in their foglight?

Any BRZ owners have LEDs in their foglight?

Which one did you get? Any pics?

Trying to find a LED set that is bright and match the OEM HID on headlight.

Thanks.

Just get some 5000k LEDs and cross your fingers. Nothing will match perfectly so if you're a perfectionist don't even waste your money.

Our Stage 3 LEDs will be a pretty close match to the factory HIDs: http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/l...leds-pair.html

They will actually provide you will some usable light output too!

I have the Diode fog lights with LEDs. It's an almost perfect match to 5K HIDs.

Idk what stage it is, but they're the 7.5W high power LEDs that are an option on their kit.

The Stage 2's are rated at 7.5w vs. the Stage 3's that are rated at 80w

Quite a bit difference in brightness and usable output

Slightly curious: has anyone seen those Cayman DRLs that are in the shape of fog lights? I'm wondering what LEDs are used to power those and if it's possible to fit them in the BRZ. Might be fun to remove the current DRL bar and connect that LED DRL fog light in place of them. Of course, they would lose all functionality of being fog lights.

Got it.

But there's no distinguishable color difference between stage 2 and 3, right?

6K Morimoto D4S bulbs and stage 2 LED fogs. The pic looks good, but it is off. The Morimoto is more blue, but I do have a Lamin-X 60% tint in the head lights so that may be causing it go a little blue as well.

I really want to have a matching fog and head light color, is it possible?

Did you get the fog LEDs before 6k headlight? Did it match pretty well with OED headlight?

Thanks man. I've seen your car on FB. Looks really good!

I know they aren't a true match to the headlights but from a distance in the dark it's hard to tell a difference in color. I could really only tell a difference in the colors off glass surfaces when I'm facing them or when both lights reflect of someones bumper in front of me. Hope this helps!
