what happens if you change both the fog and parking lights to leds and not changing the fogs to hid?

I have 4 6000k bulbs and led park lights for almost a year and have absolutely no issues. I have my fogs on all the time. Must be luck of the draw since the led failure is not consistent across the board.

Uh, nothing. Is something suppose to happen?

What do you mean changing the fog to LED but not chanign it to HID??

Only thing you have to be worried about is parking LED lights burn out if you use ones that are not meant for that kind of usage.

Ive had my car 8 months to the day, ive had HID fogs since the first week, and red 5 led refractor bulbs, i keep my fogs on all the time, and i havent had any problems.

Superbrightleds suck, vleds suck. They all suck. so just buy the cheapest.

Ive been buying all my LEDs from this guy in china for the last few years, they dont last forever, but they do last longer than any others ive tried.

I agree get what you like.

But VLEDs are better than superbrightleds.com leds.

Maybe Gods got something to do with it... LOL!
My experieance and other Friends with G37s say the same. The LED Parking light together with a Halegon FOG in the same housing will burn out at some point.

Hey if you like changing those bulbs or dont mind got for it.

LEDS are suppose to last very very very long time. Changing one of those LEDs in parking light housing every year or 2 personally isnt worth my time. That is a PITA!

My $0.02 worth.
