Hope it turns out okay...

http://www.subaruforester.org/vbull...letin/f85/replacing-fog-lamps-hid-help-requested-268554/index2.html#post2818618 - Not a good experience there. Not to mention it is illegal, but you can read more about that in the link.

 

these are LED bulbs not HID.

 

I also have them. No legal issues in Cali, even with hid fogs we don't have issues.

 

See vs. be seen



I believe fog lights are intended to assist the driver in reflective foggy or snowing situations, to see.

From the photo, it appears that intent of this fog light modification is to be seen.

 

LEDs can get hot too, but I also agree with SkidPlate.

 

Well they might be intended to see instead of be seen but I just use them as a nice look. No fog light that I have had on any of my three past cars have ever aided me in any way. I will check the temperature though.

 

They look nice for a cosmetic upgrade!

 

I'd be curious to fund out how your experience with these pans out after a year or so. Given the lights low mounting and location directly behind the wheel, I don't believe they will have a very long life. The contributing factor being the cooling fan for the Led heatsink, I haven't seen one yet that has a fan designed for very dusty/dirty outdoor applications..

They don't have a cooling fan, and the aluminum housing does an excellent job with heat dissipation.

We've had great results with our XP LEDs, and they produce 510 measured lumens (measured, not calculated)

How's the beam pattern?

 

I would only consider the HIDs until after I install the projectors, thanks! http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f85/olm-bixenon-projector-fog-lights-349257/ However I only use the foglights off road for extra illumination, they're useless as a foglight, since there is no fog in Vegas.

looking forward to seeing what they look like at night from the drivers seat.

I'm not sure the Subie fog lights are truly any help For fog. For them to operate as true fog lights, you need to be able to turn off the headlights and turn on the fog lights. Otherwise the headlights blind you. That cutoff you mention doesn't matter when your low beams are blinding you.

At 19W output, that wouldn't be be fun.

Hi, I am interested in the glass foglight replacement kit you sell for the Brz for my '14 Forster xt. Sku: foglight-2991. What I am not clear on is if the adaptor wires (PSX24W-to-H11 adapter wire) will work for the forester. I think they may be the same - the forester is19watt vs the Brz 24. Hoping you could clear that up. Thanks

Diode Dynamics is no longer a forum supporting vendor.

If you need to contact them, your best bet is to do it through their website.

 

The Luxeons should fit the 2014 Forester XT. They are listed on our compatible vehicles here: LUXEON LED Fog Lamps (Type A) - LUXEON Universal - Headlights, Foglights - Assemblies - Lighting

Thanks, again, I am interested in the glass housing replacements you guys sell that are listed for the Brz. What I want to confirm is the harness that goes with the kit for the Brz will work for be forester. I want to use regular bulbs in them, h11 or convert h9 to fit. Thx.

Well forget the options I explored, I was researching and came across these and ordered them up. They don't fit, I'll return them. Here goes

I ordered these from ebay.

Driver Passenger Sides Fog Light Lamps w H11 Bulbs for Acura Honda Ford Nissan | eBay

They are for outback model, aftermarket fog kit, and are supposed to fit 2014/15 forester xt. I will post fitment once they arrive. It's much cheaper than DD or Subispeed glass 55W fog replacement.

 

What was the outcome? Did they fit?

 

XML2 - Has anyone tried the XML2 LED (1420 lumens) bulbs in the 14+ XT touring OEM fogs? Beam pattern with the existing reflector/mirror? Cut off? etc? I'm looking at the 3000k for real fog/snow visibility not just to look pretty. Any thoughts would be appreciated
