I know some guys on here have installed them from that vendor. I installed 6k HID fogs on my car, and it is like night and day difference. Not too bad to install, just pull wheel liner and it is right there...

Fog lights
You don't say what year or model car you have! On my '12 GS I installed JWM'S LEDS, which included fog, low beams, switchback DRLS and interior lights. I dropped the cover under neath the bumper for the fogs, very easy to do. For low beams remove the wheel, makes it so much easier to get at the cover that you must remove to install the low beams and swithchbacks (DRLS) The result of installing LEDS will amaze you. I did not change out the high beams, no need too since I rarely use them. It is a great up grade that you will be glad you did it. By the way I also did there switch backs DRLS. that really brings the car up to date and it looks, very

I just noticed this thread. We've been selling these since 2014. Everyone loves them.
Install is easy. It's just a simple bulb swap, no extra ballasts or anything needed. They are much brighter than OEM

oh great these must be some of the people who drive around with the fog lights on because they think it's cool, and blind the rest of us, If you make the lights brighter you defeat the purpose of them, low to the ground and less lumens to help to keep the light from reflecting of the water drops in fog. hence giving you better vision

Incorrect. Fog lights can be yellow or white. The intensity, aiming point, and light pattern are what make fog lights fog lights. As delivered, the lights in your Corvette were fog lights. Start screwing with them and you may not only negatively affect their function as fog lights but you'll quite likely annoy (at best) your follow motorists.

Your headlights don't work well in fog because they are mounted higher with a very wide dispersion pattern. They're intended to project light as far ahead of your vehicle as practical, particularly high beams. Notice how much easier it is to see in fog when you switch off your high beams? That's also why your fog lights turn off when you switch on your high beams...they're no longer useful.

If you disagree, I suggest you read your owners manuals and see what the manufacturers call those small white lights that are mounted low on the front facia. Spoiler alert: they call them FOG lights. Even the pictogram for the switches are of a light in front of wavy "fog lines".
This is no different than whatever idiot came up with lb./ft. used today instead of the correct term, ft./lb.
