So I had mine for well over a month and no problems, they light up every day in the am, and at night on auto switch that is on the car.. I'm very happy with them. Well money spend thats all I got to say.

So I bought the OPT7 kit originally, the ballast or "control" unit was being funky so I returned them and got the VLED LMZ kit.
The passenger side went in fine, easier than ever connect the wires and tape up the control unit on the side.
Bit of a comparison on Nokya yellows and the VLED product
Drivers side was a huge PITA, the stock intake resonator is in the way for the big fan design of the VLED's so I had to chop a piece off for it to fit.
Now one with fogs off and then on
A good alternative to the OPT7 if you dont mind spending a bit more, would be much easier with a CAI.
One problem im facing now is the fog light fuse blew on me, i popped in a spare but expecting that to blow aswell. What should i do to remedy this? I dont think putting in a 15a in place of the stock 10a is a good idea, so is my only way to proceed a relay kit to run power from battery?

running a relay harness is always highly suggested when replacing lights with HIDs or in this case, high powered LEDs. IT's a "better safe than sorry" technique that has proponents on either side. I wouldn't hesitate to run one!

Wanted to bump this thread for others to see. This was a super easy install! I'm lowered on Tein spring and I didn't even have to jack the car up. Just turned the wheel all the way in.
I can't judge on light output yet, but from the looks of it, they are quite nice.
Thanks QuickTL!

Nice, i did a similar mod with VLeds and they've been running for almost 2 years now. My fog light lens even broke and water/rocks/slat when through for 2 weeks and the bulb still works today.
If you get cheap bulbs they wont last, but the good ones (100-200 $/set) will last.
