R60 Has anyone replaced the mini fog light bulb for a LED

I've seen H3 LED bulb replacements, but in my experience none of them have come remotely close to the incandescent's light output and range. They'll have the look, but are not really functional. A simple bulb replacement just won't cut it if you're looking to still use them.
If you're looking to go LED though, the new LED driving lights are coming soon and will be retrofittable to those who already have driving lights.

Yes I was looking to go brighten as well as making the look, look similar to the LED DRL and Xenons. I had the mini fog lamps dismounted as I was re-doing some work on the grill....thought while i had them apart I'd see what's out there for LED's. I appreciate your time

The factory LED fog lights are pretty bright, as bright as any H3 incandescent bulb I would say and it match xenon lights nicely.

This is the bulb that comes standard in the light and am looking to change the pair over to LED's if possible. Wondering if anyone has and if so...style & size ?

Yes, the factory LED lights are plenty bright, but the LEDs in those are integrated into an assembly and have their own heat sink and such surrounding it.
I meant to say that a straight bulb swap, while possible, would lead to disappointing results, especially when comparing them to a factory LED light.
I found these on eBay that would be cheap enough to try, I have similar ones as reverse lights, but they will not match the light output of the factory LED or incandescent lights.

Try them out - $20 for two isn't too bad of a hit and if you need something brighter, get the MINI factory LED driving lights when they come out.

I hope I'm not confusing the different type of lights...The lights I'm referring to are the ones pictured in my first post. Bought separately through Mini and mounted on brackets attached through the grill... The daytime driving lights i've converted over to the newer Mini style LED's and look great.

The aftermarket H3 LED bulb will not be as bright as the halogen or the oem LED foglights. It might also trigger a bulb out warning as well unless you use resisters or error free bulb.

I'm thinking these housings with the LED's will be a brighter/better look than just purchasing the super bright halogens ? ?
#11
Yea, the new LED rally lights are super bright ( bighter then most halogen i have seen) and they swap for the halogen housing factory one.
Spiney installed them ( as well as the factory DRL fogs ) lower lights. Install a couple pages back.

How's the light output?
#14
I have a 2011 R60..so have the adaptive Xenons...but have upgraded the lower fogs for the newer Mini DRL led's which look great as well.
Is there an upgrade for the headlights over to led's without swapping the whole housing ? I've actually looked into that as I like the newer blacked out look...but if memory serves me right...$800 and change per light plus the install...I'm almost at the point of no return anyways...
#15
No factory Led upgrade for the Factory Countryman Xenon Headlights yet.
