I do not think buying just straight led bulbs for your stock fogs would do anything but just change the color. I personally bought the morimoto fog lights that physcially replace the stock ones. Cost about $130 I think, but only takes like 15 per side to install, 2 screws, great output.

VLEDs.com is a great site. They have LED bulbs to replace factory fog lights, as well as a whole LED fog light kit (bulbs AND housing) for 2012-2014 TLs if you have one in that year.

If you're in the US, it's generally illegal to have blue lights on your vehicle...

Wow 60 watt LEDs?! That heat sink does not look large enough... Hope you don't melt your housing!

There is a risk in everything that you put on your car. From what they've described on the product page, opt7 kit has more cooling in a smaller footprint. It gets good reviews so I don't mind giving it a try.

What's your point? You're okay with breaking the law so blue lights are no big deal? I'm just asking.

Tint is different from blue lights. Blue lights makes your car looks like an emergency vehicle. In California blue is reserved for law enforcement only and will get you a fix it ticket for sure.

So you can't do the Moriomoto LED swap for the whole housing, but you can still find nice H11 LED bulbs from VLEDs. 5K is a nice bright white color, similar to headlights. 6K will give you a more bluish white color, which is probably what you're looking for. The 6K bulbs shouldn't attract too much unwanted attention either!

I wasn't trying to be smart. I'm not saying like the actual color blue. More like a cool or hyper type blue

Ok, so do I.

Tint is one thing, impersonating a police officer is a whole different ball game.

Don't be ghetto.
