Today, we are answering one of our most-asked questions! In this video, we compare our Elite Series Fog Lamps to other market-leading fog lamps! We break down each fog lamp by intensity, beam pattern, color temperature, and price.

For this comparison, we've used our state-of-the-art Goniophotometer, a device that measures multiple points to calculate the intensity and map out the beam pattern of each fog lamp! We've also used our integrating sphere, which is a device that is used to measure the color temperature of each fog lamp. We hope the data we collected helps you choose the best fog lamp for your vehicle!

Love the cutout on the DD foglights. I used to custom retrofit HID projects. Wish DD had a dual light option like morimotos though

[cheesychuck]

I got my elite series fog-lights Installed on my gx460 recently. Very impressed.

[FiiGGy]

Love the ss3s for my fog lights! Used to have Morimoto and Morimoto is trash in output. Wouldn’t even notice they’re on! Might as well have got an eBay brand to test!

[J.NOBODY]

For the price these are unbelievable. Awesome fog lights, I swapped from the ss3 sport to these and wow. Unbelievable cut off and output. Was thinking of going with the ss3 max but I could buy two pairs of these for that price. The white matches the OEM led headlights so well. Been loving them and that OE look. Fantastic product as always diode. Killing the game

[samuelaudet]

type x elite fog coming soon ? I'd like a pair for my 2011 wrx sti especially since the morimito xb aren't offered in yellow

[popwarhomie]

Got my Elites in yellow last month. Love them.

[danielmullins]

I got a pair of yellow Elite Series for my 2017 Ford Fiesta a couple months ago. I'm impressed with the light output and they look cool.🚘

just a heads up, if you running resistors on your DRL LEDs on 5th gen 4runner your backlight will be very dim since you need to tap into the drl ground. The resistor regulates the watts to go to the DRL so they don't flicker. The low wattage wont come on for the backlight. i wish i knew that before i purchased i would of went another direction. Maybe add that on your description for the 4runner version.

[artramirez]

Looking at maybe getting a set of these Elite fog lights for my F150. I wished they offered a set with mounting brackets for the first gen Tundra as well but I don't think they do.

[kelvina]

Do you have these for a 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec? I currently have factory round led fogs, but they are totally useless.

[BRZFA]

I want to get these fog lights but the mounting holes are different on my 2020 Subaru BRZ than the ones you have available.

[ibrahimibrahim-wfnf]

Does this fit dodge ram warlock classic ??... Thank you for the reviews

[sxdriver]

Any plans to make some for the latest gen Honda Ridgeline?

Can't wait to see the Laser pods!

[sidharthadas]

Love the specs and OE appearance. Would it fit 2015 Mazda CX-5?

[garager]

I adore my ss3s on my Highlander. Unfortunately I bought some Morimoto LED fogs for my Yaris about a month before the Elites came out. I like em for what they are (got em on closeout). But I would of 100% got the Elites if I even knew they were in the pipeline. I really like how the traditional look of those KCs and the warmer output.

[codyberger]

How do these compare to the ss3 max pods?

[xxtwobitxx]

I'm torn between the ss3 and these, what are the key differences? Looking to add them onto my 3rd gen tacoma.

[VaronsFirstLove]

Saving the best for last. Now, really, what else can compare??
