Have posted on another site, no answer, Googled for a couple of hours, no satisfaction
Has any one changed their globes to leds in their fog lights, if so was it worth it
Reason, when in Arhmen Land the dust was so bad that others were complaining they could not see the fogs (set up as described by SAEB to come on as driving lights)
Am trying to achieve some thing a bit more piercing?

I have put LED globes in mine and there is minimal improvement, a bit brighter but same spread.

Can't expect a lot because of the small reflectors.

Same, no issues although I'm using larger fog lights that are in the ARB bar so they put out a fair bit more light.
