Which fog light bulbs best match Lux H8 Angel LED bulbs??
I love my Lux H8 angel eyes LED bulbs but my fogs don't match. I have the Xenesis fogs I think off of bimmian.com and its very close but no cigar.
Anyone have a perfect match. I am sure its on the forum somewhere, but i don't want to search, so please chime in if you want to. thanx

It's very hard to get a halogen bulb to match 100% to a xenon or LED output without sacrificing light output. You could try a bulb with a more blue coating but you risk losing light output.

In that case, you can purchase any H8 LED Bulb however you may need to install resistors to prevent the bulb out warning if it does not come with them.

most H8 style LED bulbs (the ones found on e-bay), will be around 1/10th the brightness of a halogen bulb. They will more closely match the LUX H8's, however they will have almost no light output.
You could try a mtec Cosmos bulb, but that will still be similar to the one you tried originally |
