[ATTACH]79568[/ATTACH] I want to replace the small blue fog lights on my 83 with something brighter, Any suggestions?

Any Fog lights on your 83 are not stock.

 

So you can put on anything you like.

 

I have the KChilites series 35.

I have them on my truck and my bike.

they have a 23 year warranty that even covers the bulbs.

 

They are focused between a driving and a fog light with an emphasis on lighting up the side of the road. I can not even guess how many deer I did not hit because of these lights.

Take into consideration that brighter lights will eat more power. I would go with LED driving lights. They come in many shaped & sizes.

 

I added a pair of chrome halogen bullets I forund at Walmart & replaced the bulbs with LED units I found at Home Depot

 

The 1st pix is the original halogen units, the second is after the LED bulbs installed.

Andy,

 

Did you find an LED replacement bulb for your driving lights at Home Depot? If so do you remember what brand or a part # or such. How bright are the driving lights if you did put the LED bulbs in them?

My aux lights from Walmart are these http://www.walmart.com/ip/Driving-Light-Kit/16680058 They use MR16 plug in halogen bulbs.

The replacement LEDs 20w were these - very bright. They also had 35w (mind you that's an equivilent they draw only 6w each) I actually picked them up at Lowes. http://www.lowes.com/pd_105495-3-78492_0__?productId=3228293&Ntt=mr16+led&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dmr16%2Bled&facetInfo

the only thing I did extra to them was seal the backs with silicon to make sure no water got in through the fins.

That is awesome!

 

Do they work well as far as lighting up the road when it's dark? I'm probably going to go out and get a set regardless. Thanks for posting up the info

Squid, my main use is to make a light triangle so cagers can see me, but I found that they are as bright as the original halogens. I would definitely use the 35w led. The reason I bought these was the chrome housing looked alot better on the bike, more like a factory install. The siliconed LEDs went through monsoon weather on my trip to Dragon's Tail with no problems a all.
