Upgrading Fog Lights to LED
Need your recommendation regarding upgrading my '14 BRZ fog lights... Checked out Diode Dynamics website SKU: fgled-2991-PSX.
Natural or White? With bulb option XML2? OR Cool? With bulb option SMD18, HP8, XP80 or XML2?

Up to you. Personally I like the Morimoto XB Led Fogs
We have a few houston guys that have this and I like how wide the pattern is. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/led...ts-type-s.html If you get this, you will most likely need a psx24w to H11 adaptor |

The XML2 will produce the most usable output, and we have colors available to match your factory HIDs, LEDs, and so forth. Thanks, Nick C.

Diode Dynamics, can you confirm that the XML2 maintains the OEM cutoff? Want to buy a set of your lights, but don't want to blind anyone. Yes, I know they aren't really meant for use with oncoming traffic, but if fogs have a proper cutoff, that shouldn't really happen anyway apart from some reflected glare from the road.
I'm asking because I saw a GIF of a pair on a Jeep that made them look more like driving lights (no cutoff at all) which would be terrible for oncoming traffic AND for reflecting off of fog. Is it possible to get images of the cutoff with XML2s installed on a BRZ, anyone? |

One of our customers installed the Cool White XML2's in his BRZ and posted some pictures as an example:

I called Nick at Diode Dynamics... He recommended the natural white/4300K & XML2 bulb. This will match the OEM BRZ headlamps. Will order tomorrow pending any further comments or recommendations this evening.
