....I refuse to leave this exposed to outside elements. Wish they could have incorporated decent male plug to have a snug fit with the female.

Much improved lighting and was a close match to his factory 4300k HIDs.

I am looking to install this kit myself. Problem is I need to know where the turn signal module is at. I have a manual brz and I think i found mine over by the clutch. Please help me out I don't know if I found the right thing or not.

They are rated at 600 lumens.

I got these in my brz fog lights. They work perfect. I went with the white LEDs and it almost matches the white in the Hids. Perfect! They also make a yellow one too.

It was easy to install. Plug and play.

I did some trial and error with the oem fog light housings on the brz. I threw in HIDs on one and an LED on the other, both pretty much had an equal brightness however the HID melted within a while of sitting and watching it but the LED didn't. However, after a while of having the LEDs on, the LED towards the base started melting and shorting out the LEDs. I then decided to switch over to the Outback housing and now I have 55w H11 HIDs installed in them with no issues at all and they are crazy bright.

I never saw any problems with my LED bulbs but I am using $60 bulbs...

Im not too sure the model or name or anything pertaining to recognizing the LED but I know I paid $140 for them .. They may have been a defective batch perhaps

If you've had the housings out, you'll see why it's not recommended. I personally went for a high powered LED fog light assembly from The Retrofit Source. The LEDs are as powerful as HID because the housing is designed around them and don't glare the hell out of everyone like an HID kit would.

I don't recommend running hids on stock fog housing as the stock housings are plastic, which will likely melt. I suggest led fogs if you want to use stock fog housing. I am using led fogs and they are so bright to the point it over powers the headlights....The coverage is ridiculous. Of course, yellow 3000k is always easier on the eyes than white, to me personally that is.

These are pretty nice and have worked out well for me. Excellent color match to the factory HID headlights as well.
