I can say that I was not sponsored for these fog lights. I am just a happy satisfied costumer. The brand is VoRock8. They do come with a 1 year warranty. I was also looking at the Hikari LED Headlight Bulb Conversion Kit, but they also cost about 2x as much. The Hikari LED's do come with a 2 year warranty. The link to the VoRock8 bulbs is

and the link for the Hikari is

Hope this information was useful.

VoRock8 makes a disclaimer that theirs are not Canbus friendly. And they're a bit pricey.
The Hikari are outrageously expensive and some of their pic promos are a bit hokey IMO.

I'm going to try a set of these. An S5 owner friend of mine has been using these for a while now and has zero canbus issues and they're rated output of 12000LM is the same as the expensive Hikari.

This looks to be the same kit in Amazon.

The ones in that link are 2 sided. The ones I posted/bought from Ebay are 4 sided.
Your link shows they are rated at 72W 8000LM. The ones I posted are 120W and 12000LM
Just so we know, most advertisers list the combined total watts and Lumen. IE: In your link that would be 36W and 4000LM per bulb vs 60W and 6000LM per bulb in my link.
Just food for thought.

I'm currently using HID's. I didn't have to mod the dust caps for them. The HID's didn't have the connector to make it a direct plug and play but rather had to plug the 2 splade connectors into the wiring. With the LED's it's going to be a straight forward plug and play since it utilizes the correct connector which should also mean zero necessity to mod the dust caps.
As far as the controller goes - I have my ballasts for my HID's zip-tied securely out of the way. The controller is smaller and lighter then an HID ballast so zip-tying it out of the way will be much easier. I had zero issues with the zip-tying of the HID ballasts anyway.

is there led bulbs without controllers ??
I guess there will be a gap in the dust cap since controller wires have to be outside of dust cap ??

Not that I'm aware of. At least not true LED ones. You sure you're not thinking of bulbs that look like oem halogen but say they're either HID or LED. If so, those are not real HID's/LED's

I'm not sure you're familiar with how HID's/LED's are installed?
The original oem halogen bulb connector plugs into the LED's unit. The LED unit's controller is further downstream but before the light unit itself.

Does the controller sit inside in fog housing or is a wire coming out of the dust cap?? Prevetning it from fully closing??

sorry I don't fully understand how it will be on this vehicle
