![]() ![]() That means you can use them without blinding other drivers at night, and if you ever use them in actual fog, they won't blind you. The OFFROADTOWN LED fog lights meet the SAE J583 standard for fog lights used on public roads. Especially these which are on the lower end of the price scale. That doesn't automatically mean they aren't a good value. These fog lights from OFFROADTOWN look exactly like the fog lights sold by a dozen different companies – and I'm sure that they are. Sometimes things like fog lights, which seem to be a very specialized product, are still just a commodity. Although LEDs do use far less power than a halogen bulb, you probably want to source your own relay and fuse for installation. It does not however include either a fuse or a relay. The kit includes a wiring harness with switch. The units are rated for 10g of vibration and are also IP67 water and dust rated. The LP530 lights use an aluminum diecast body and polycarbonate lens. The LP530 is available in different patterns for different applications, but we are focusing on the fog-specific light, although most of the specs are relevant to all LP-series units. PIAA designed the LED itself to project light backwards into a segmented, multi-surface reflector which defines the beam pattern. The LP530 was designed from the ground up to be an LED light, so this isn't just an LED bulb thrown in a halogen housing. The downside is LEDs need reflectors specifically designed to maximize the light spread. LEDs are far more efficient than a traditional incandescent light, like halogen lights which waste a large amount of energy in heat. As energy moves through the LED, the electrons jumping from gap to gap releases energy in the form of photons, or light. LED, Light Emitting Diodes, are a different technology than traditional halogen light bulbs. The wiring harness does not include a fuse, which is recommended for installation. If fog lights are optional on your vehicle, you should be able to wire in the factory switch for a more integrated look. The kit includes the wiring harness and switch needed for installation. Like all fog lights, they need to be mounted low for best results. They are designed to fit in grilles or under bumpers. The FF75 has a wide, flat, and low spread of light ideal for lighting up the road and not bouncing light off the fog, snow, or rain back at the driver.Įach FF75 is roughly 2.5-inches tall, including the mounting bracket, and 6-inches wide. Once computers were powerful enough, Hella began calculating the three dimensional shapes necessary to use all the light coming from the bulb and getting it exactly where it needs to be on the road. For most of the history of the automobile, light reflectors were symmetric paraboloids which were then cut-off by lenses or shades. That mirror is notable however as it is what is called a free-form reflector. The FF75 isn't a cluster of LEDs, it isn't one big projector, it is a classic halogen bulb with a mirror reflector behind a glass lens. With such a long history of quality lighting products, you might expect that Hella's fog lights would avoid current fads and just provide great lighting, which is exactly what these FF75 lights do. European manufacturers have relied on Hella for decades to provide lighting solutions for some of the best cars in the world. Hella has been making automotive lighting for so long, the company's first lamps were powered by candles or kerosene – I'm not joking. ![]()
