Replacement fog light bulbs

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has installed the following foglights, it looks like the stock bulbs are H8 35W.

Thoughts or comments on using a lower 30W bulb?

Model: 2012 g37xs

[SiriusLED H8 Size DRL Fog Light LED 30W 6000k Super Bright White Projection Bulb Pack of 2]

I wouldn't even bother with those. Yeah they are cheap but who knows what the quality and longevity will be like.

Use Diode Dynamics (might be a vendor here). They make quality products, good support, and are backed by a 3 year warranty.

I believe you need to be looking at a H11 bulb though.

If you're set on LED bulbs:

Or you can do a HID kit for the fogs:

I did the H11 3000k HID kit on my '08 but I have the IPL front bumper with IPL fog lights. They are bright. great yellow color, I have had them installed for over 4 years with no issues.

I wonder how the glare is with a 35w 3000k HID kit versus the diode dynamics 3000k LED bulb

I'll post some pictures tonight of my 3000k HID kit from DD.

I would imagine that the fog light housing being used would have more of an effect on glare. Not sure though.

Found some old pictures. Not the best quality (old iPhone 6) but this should give you an idea. Parked next to my buddy's old Q50.
