Upgrade To Diode Dynamics LED Fog Light Bulbs
by Anthony Williams on May 27, 2020
When driving in inclement weather, a reliable set of fog lights can be invaluable. Fog lights are specially designed to create a wide and narrow pattern that helps keep the road directly ahead visible during fog, heavy rain, and snowy weather. If you want the best possible visibility when your vehicle is stuck braving nasty weather, you need to upgrade to a set of LED Fog Light Bulbs.
Fog lights are one of those things that we don’t consider much until we need them. Unlike headlights, you probably won’t end up using your fog lights every day or even every week. However, when visibility drops below 100 meters, these bulbs can be a real lifesaver. This is because your fog lights don’t work like a typical pair of headlights.
When you are driving through fog, you are basically inside a low hanging cloud. The small airborne droplets of water act like tiny mirrors hanging in the air. This means that when your headlights shine straight ahead, the fog will reflect most of that light back in the form of glare. To avoid this effect, fog lights produce a thin band of light and are aimed down towards the road. This means they encounter less airborne water, and as a result, produce much less glare. Many aftermarket fog lights are available in a yellow option which is said to increase the contrast and make the road easier to see.
If you want to get the most out of your fog lights, replacing the OEM halogen bulbs with a pair of LED fog light bulbs is a great way to add extra light output. LED bulbs produce a bright focused light that can help increase your visibility when you use your fog lights.
Diode Dynamics offers their SLF LED fog light bulb in a 3000K yellow option. Unlike other LED fog lights that use a lens to create the yellow output, the SLF 3000K yellow fog light bulb uses yellow LED chips. This helps avoid the greenish light produced from combining a bluish light from the LED chips and a yellow lens. Using true yellow LEDs means no lens is necessary to get that high contrast yellow lighting you will need to guide you through the next storm. These bulbs in 6000K cool white, which is especially useful for drivers who use their fog lights in place of their daytime running lights.
If you have had trouble seeing with your OEM halogen fog lights, it’s time to consider upgrading to a pair of bright and focused LED fog light bulbs. Diode Dynamics products are built to last, feature simple plug and play installation, and come with a worry-free 3-year warranty.
