Since I got an early '14 model before the LED foglights were an option, I've been looking for a cheap LED set to pick up. Finally found a set for relatively cheap off of E-Bay, used of course.
And since I can't leave well enough alone, especially since I want to know what's inside, I opened them up. I plan on painting everything white. The pics:
This picture shows all the parts. It's ridiculous- the topmost black bezel is the one that goes over the lens itself. Under that is the lens, and the next black bezel attaches to the inside of the lens, and covers the same area. And further, I tried mocking it up without those two black bezels, and it looks the same. Think I'm going to ditch those two bezels. It also looks like it they affect output, so I'm still going to experiment with that.
I do like the output of these - nice thin, flat line, and they look wide. Definitely way better than the halogen fog lights. I'll grab some output pics of them later.
Also, the electrical connector in the rear is not a direct plug and play from the halogen fog lights. I found the connector though, and still debating if I want to order it, or just wire something up myself. I only found the connector in China, so if I order it, won't be here for a while.
More pics to come after I do some painting.
