Has anyone ever replaced their ugly yellow'ish fog bulbs with LED bulbs as apposed to the xenon balast route...?

for sure, you will need error cancelling cable kit due to differences in wattage. The absolute worst case scenario is the potential havoc these LEDs may cause your LCM to fail.

I know there is talk of the fogs and headlights being yellow.... but none of my lights are yellow, they are bright white all over the front (I do not have Xenon's BTW, just standard ones).... My car was made in Dec 2011, so I wonder if the later ones are white by default...?

I don't think these LEDs will produce a valuable light source, especially when you're in need for fog lights (I use my fogs for practical reasons). You should look into GP Thunder 8500k bulbs. They're around $15 on eBay, they're bright/white with no errors. LED Fog/Head light bulbs technology isn't there yet. Only CREE LEDs will get you to the brightness level needed, but CREE LEDs are way too expensive to put 18qty on one H11 bulb. Please post pics once you have those H11 LEDs installed, and write a review. |

^^ something like this.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CREE-Q5-H1...item4cf87725d9 But I would have paid more to get German Made LED product. http://www.nsvauto.com/lighting.pdf ... see page 17 |
