i might test it in the fog and see what it looks like/ if it works

Thanks for the review - it looks great!

What type of fog do you need, we'd be interested in helping test and get you something you can use.

Thank you

Do you mind snapping a picture of where you wedged the flat head at? It would be greatly appreciated. I've looked at it a couple times and just don't want to break something by mistake. Thanks.

wow! now THAT is customer service. there is a ' H21W ' marking near the base where the fog bulb plugs in. I tried to put the reverse LED in there (because it looks like the same fitment but it did not want to go in)

Yep! These guys are super helpful. I posted in a thread on this forum that I wasn't a fan of the color/temp of the interior LED kit I purchased from them, and they worked with me to get LEDs with a temperature more to my liking. I'm a big fan.

great question.
pry from the inside as the edge closer to the outside is where it bends/ folds

H21W is the bay9s - that reverse is the bax9s so it won't work, do you want it in white?

I found that where switching from incandescent to LED bulbs, I sometimes have to trim the sides of the LED circuit board to get them in Audi sockets. Before you do that, make sure the bulb will fit into the housing - that's sometimes tight.
