Has anyone updated their fog lights to LED H11 bulbs?

Has anyone updated their fog lights to LED H11 bulbs?
If so, which LED h11 bulbs are error free and has the best output similar to the new BMW foglight color?

I used these in my previous vehicle, a 2012 F150. They are pure white, not blue-ish at all. I like this type of plug and play LED "bulb" because the LEDs are on the sides and do not project directly in front. That way you don't blind oncoming drivers.

The only way to make them "error free" is to code your fogs to "LED" and turn the cold and warm bulb checks off with coding software.

Np... but do yourself a favor and buy an OBDII code reader like this: https://www.amazon.com/Vgate-Elm327-...%2C178&sr=8-13

Download the Bimmercode app to your phone and do all that yourself. It's really easy. You can do so much with Bimmercode.

These are a 4 year old design and as many people know, LEDs technology has been advancing at a very rapid pace. If you just want something for cosmetic looks and or color, these would be fine. If you want something that actually puts more usage light on the road, look for something with more current LED bulb technology with an aluminum heat sink. Without a large heat sink, the light output will be dramatically reduced to prevent overheating.
