LED Fog light bulbs

Speaking of experience when trying to do the same on the wife's Ibiza: get the branded ones.

I went through 3 different sets from eBay before I found some that wouldn't have massive glare.

The cost ended up being the same as if I had bought a proper brand one.

 

Adding here also that the first set I got were brighter and had a longer reach than the car's own full beam, which is also LED, but the factory one.
They were that much bright and blinding.

 

That is a good thing - "Canbus" friendly bulbs usually add questionable quality resistors that lead to premature failure and increase by a lot the temperature.
Just do it the right way and simply code the bulb type to "LED" after you put them in.

 

Anyone with VCDS or OBDeleven can do it quick and easy, likely for a couple of beer tokens

 

Yes - get the OBDeleven.
It quickly pays for itself when you start coding changes

Get the Pro version but you don't really need credits if you are willing to get your hands dirty and make the code changes yourself.

It needs an Android phone, but a iOS supporting version is in the works.

 

Pro version allows doing coding yourself without the built in Apps, that are limited, although can make changes with one tap for a few credits.

Hard to use? Depends on how technically minded you are and able to follow guides.
OBDeleven is way easier than VCDS, for sure.

Just go to YouTube and search OBDeleven and you can see a ton of videos.

 

Out of curiosity, how often did you really have to use the front fogs for fog? I think I only used mine twice in 4 years. Plus they only made the sides a bit brighter, but I did find the cornering function annoying especially since the headlights were blue-ish LED/Bi-Xenon and the cornering fogs came on as yellow halogens. Instead I just turned them off via Carrista on the Ibiza. On the Leon Pre-FL, they were off by default anyway.

 

I've used 20Twenty bulbs in my car and have zero complaints. Are you sure you need H8/H11? Putting the reg in says the bulbs are H3

 

Another vote for the Twenty20 leds from Autobulbsdirect.
Replaced the standard 'glow-worm' reversing light on the Leon with one of these.

 

I've replaced my reversing light with a led bulb from Autobuldsdirect a lot better.

As for fog lights I was thinking about changing my fog light bulbs because as said above you need them to light up the verges as the led headlights that are supposed to do that are crap.

 

Branded ones all the way no doubt. As above you’ll spend more on crap ones trying to find ones that work long enough/ are actually any good. Plus the hassle of changing the fogs over and over
