Default ***New LED fog light from Radioflyer Innovations***

We all know the factory headlights on the C5 are horrible, but quality projector headlights aren't in Everyone's budget. Radioflyer Innovation is proud to offer a budget-friendly alternative: Our new High-output LED fog lights.

Many have installed HID kits fog lights but have to deal with adapter harnesses, clunky ballasts, slow warm up times and sometimes popped fuses. Never worry about any of that again.

Our all-new LED bulbs have integrated drivers in their heat sinks for a clean and easy installation and wire directly to your factory plugs. 6 side-firing CSP LED chips provide increased pattern width intensity compared to HID and are many times brighter than the factory bulbs.

Output is a beautiful and powerful 5500K white. Output is so good, you'll wonder if you even need your factory headlights.





Compare to factory halogen (or candle)



Brilliant white color



Color temp close up



Still has that nice cutoff pattern



Excellent supplement to factory headlights



Classy


Order yours before Sunday May 13 and get 10% off your order automatically!:

>>>ORDER HERE<<<






IMPORTANT INSTALLATION UPDATE FOR NEW BATCH:


The latest batch of these lights has reverse polarity on the connector. To fix this, you simply need to reverse the pins on the socket. Here's how: All you need is a jumbo-size paperclip (the 2" size)



1. Identify the fog light connector. You will need to remove the grey lock by releasing the two side tabs.



2 ,This is how it looks with the lock removed.



3. Straighten the edge of the paperclip and insert into the outer edge gap of the socket pin to release the locking tab (this may require a bit of force, but once released the pin should easily slide out of the back of the socket.



4. Repeat for second side. Then switch the pins and re-install the grey lock. That's it!

Looks nice. How are the LEDs in comparison to the HIDs that require a ballast?

Order placed! The stock fogs are too terrible and this is too good a price/upgrade to pass up. Of course I also ordered the bi-xenon headlights too, can't wait to get everything in and blind all the deer around here.

Thank you all for the orders. I'm expecting the first batch early next week. A second much larger batch will be arriving at the end of the month.

6 screws - About the easiest thing you can do.....if you have skinny arms.

If not, you'll need to do a little more work, 10 screws (if going in from the bottom) or 10 screws and 4 screw/nuts if going in from the top.

How many lumens do they provide and how many watts they consume? Could you post some pictures of the units?

Based on the advertised specs, they are 4000lm per bulb (likely closer to 2000 actual and output will vary depending on condition of your fog light lenses)

Wattage spec is 25w per bulb.

Update: This item has been so popular it has wiped out the inventory. The first 10 orders will be going out today. New (much larger) inventory is in production and should arrive in early June.

Well I just got my fog light upgrade and HOLY SH$T what an "upgrade" it is more like completely different lights altogether. I am VERY impressed!!Thanks for the upgrade! I just want to say that I get nothing by saying this except to say thanks again. It was just a little difficult to hook the wires together as I have only one wrist but it was totally worth it.

It's possible you were not one of the 10 sets shipped out. No worries, new inventory is in production and will be shipped as soon as possible. I did not anticipate this level of popularity on a first-run release.

Ok. I also ordered a hood led light too. Been dying to replace that hideous bulb for so long.
