LED Fog Lights
So I did a little searching on the internet and found these led fog lights. I have HID's and need something to match. Has anyone had any experience with these or something like these and what does everyone think?

Ummm... No!
LED's are good for bight accute angle light, or dimmer more dispersed light. Signal lights, park lights and taillights are great to convert to LED, but not driving lights.
LED's have a projection problem over a large angle. Being that driving lights have to light up a large area, you can easily see the problem.
A great example is this -> would any of you guys with projectors rely on the LED's to light up the road for you? I thought not.

Pretty cool idea . They definately have light cast evenly to reflect off the housing to cast light to the ground . I could see them working much better in a projector style fog over the traditional reflector the Mazda 3 uses . I see they used a "ultralux" LED on the amber version . If they used a ultralux as the top bulb and the surface mounts around the perimeter , I bet it would be as bright on the ground or brighter than our stock halogen in the projector fog light housing . That ultralux led bulb has a 130* viewing angle and is as bright as incandesnt . 1 of those could evenly light an entire taillamp housing if positioned and diffused properly .
