Just installed LED Fog Lights

Purchased LED fog lights from http://www.ebay.com/itm/331587263187?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT $49.69 per pair with free shipping and they are amazing! The job takes about 30 minutes for the first side and 15 for the second side after you know what your are doing. The color matches my HID headlights exactly. They have a Two-year warranty but I'm hoping they last a lot longer. Please note they are too bright to leave on all the time but great for flashing obnoxious Dodge Ram and Subaru drivers who seem to need to drive with their fog lights on just to be "cool". I have no light meter to test them but they seem every bit as bright as my HID high beams. I have read the drivers side fog light is harder to change due to the washer fluid reservoir but it really was not an issue at all.

coupe or sedan?

those heatsinks/fans look huge, but they obviously fit since you put them in ...

Can we get pictures, and cutoff patterns? I have been debating on what route I wanted to go for my fogs..

don't hold your breath...

halogen based reflector housing + LED bulbs = the exact opposite of cutoff.

Maybe "cutoff" is being misused/misinterpreted. I know HID projectors have valid cutoffs, but I was interested more so in the beam pattern.

So its more on my end of misuse
