Last week I purchased and installed the Cali Special lower valance with fogs. I'm very happy with the way it looks except that the stock bulbs don't match my HID's at all. So today I went to every freaking auto parts store in my area looking for some xenon match bulbs and bought 3 different types and installed them one at a time to see how they looked. All of them were crap.

Anyway, I just ordered some LED fog lights that are supposed to match 6000K HID's. For anyone that is interested here's a link
I'll post pics when I get them in sometime next week.

Later!

 

Yes please keep us informed....
My Xenon Match bulbs give off NO LIGHT...but hey they match the color of my HID headlights!

 

Def wanna see what those led bulbs look on the fog lights

 

I highly doubt that these are going to emit any useful light. All I want is for them to match.

Me too... is't it funny how even then small things we buy for our cars gets us excited?

 

I don't think u will like those LEDs... I had those same 6000k one from vleds.com and I was extremely disappointed with them... even the dim factory halogens looked cleaner... I had my California valence for like 3 months so far, I love the look but I can almost guarantee u that u won't like the LEDs... the projector housing dims them a bit

 

i just ordered some led bulbs hoping to change my gt fogs to a white light. Well they emit practically no light at all. So i did some research and now ordering xenon filled bulbs instead, ill see how that goes lol.

 

Well crap.

 

I haven't tried other bulbs like u did, I was going to but glad I read your post for future reference... I really was trying to staying away from an HID kit :-/ but I guess the kit would be best approach cuz these cs lights have a poor beam

 

Well i just ordered some xenon bulbs because the led were a huge failure, so ill let you guys know how they go. Hopefully they will give off bright white light while still having that 5-6k color temp.

 

If they come out good let us know what brand, I only found the factory ones to be the most acceptable :-/

 

Anyone have any results/pictures of how this turned out yet? I'm wanting to do the same thing with my 2013 GT when I do the CS grille swap.

 

 

Check out Höen, you will be pleased.

 

Funny - just added the CS fog lights too and for now have the stock halogen (puke)

Just received a set of CREE '12W' LED H11 bulbs that I'm going to try as soon as I can get under the car. GOt them off ebay; look good for a fog light bulb. Mostly drive in the city so don't need HIDs in the fogs (have em stock). Let's see...

 

I installed the LED's and they were crap. They were the correct color but they put out so little light that you could barely even tell they were on during the day, and at night the hid's drowned them out. They would be good for the grille, but they just don't work in the projector housing of the cs valence.

 

Here's mine with HIDs retrofitted in the fogs.

 

^^looks good. What bulbs are you using and where did you get them?

 

4500k kit from DDM tuning. Never thought putting the full California special front end would run me so much money + a Hid kit for the fogs and 4500k headlight bulbs so they'd all match.

 

This may be a stupid question, but I just thought about this: has anyone tried just swapping the stock HID bulbs out of the grille fogs into the CS fogs?

 

Lol, the LED "bulbs" are bigger than the California special projectors themselves. Not to mention the focal point would be wrong since its not made to work, even if you did. I am more tha LAN happy with the light output and results from the HID conversion.
