Default New LED Fog Lights

Not to long ago, I purchased a set of Atshark H10 LED fog lights from eBay. . They are brighter than I thought they would be. So far I'm very impressed with them. Installation was easier than I thought it would be. I originally thought that I would have to take off the front wheels but I didn't have to (It helps having a friend w/a car lift) One thing I will mention though is, the polarity of the lights was backwards out of the box. Maybe it was factory error or maybe they're all like this. I thought I had defective lights but I flip-flopped them & they work. So with that, the clip that holds in the plug is on the opposite side...To remedy this I used a little bit of electrical tape, (problem solved). The OEM locking mechanism is exactly right, so they lock into place just like the OEM lights. *Side note: The lights have a built in fan system that runs continuously while the lights are turned on. I'm not really sure if this is actually needed since LED lights should run cooler than their halogen counterparts...the fan sound is barely audible, so it's no big deal to me, & is added cooling if it is actually needed...If anyone is looking for some Bright White LED lights to replace their existing Yellow fog lights on their C6, these are pretty awesome so far.

I've got a similar set (Stark) in the fogs on my F150 and I agree - they are bright.

Are these plug and play? I know you mentioned the polarity, but did you have to cut their wires? Thanks!! I love the look

No cutting involved. I just turned the bulb upside down or 180 degree (opposite of the clip side) & plugged it in.
