FLlegacy Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Our only glass option is the JDM multi-coat fog lights, all USDM fogs are polycarbonate plastic.Mine are definitely glass I double checked, and the TYC replacements I have also have a glass lens.

Humble Rumble Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Since TYC clones are available for our factory foglights (super super cheap at that), is there any reason a TYC clone of the Mustang LED housing should have any trouble fitting? Already checked RockAuto, a pair of the TYC clones of them can be had for right around $100. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using TapatalkWhen was the last time the US FMVSS allowed glass to be used for any forward facing light on any car authorized for sale within the US? I would put that somewhere in the 1980's. I guarantee, it's not glass.

nevets27 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Ford fusion projector fogs have a glass lens. Any projectors always have glass lenses, of course ones inside a headlight housing are behind plastic but fogs are usually open to the elements.

capttris Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 @spidermanMTL Do the Morimoto lights in your link have the H11/H16 input with the correct plug? It's hard to tell from the photos vs what my harness is on the 2013 (in the photos in my post above) The benefits of the Morimoto seem to be: slightly cheaper than OEM Ford some sellers will pre-install the Laminx for $20 seems like a better warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capttris Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The Morimoto Type S (for Subaru) got terrible reviews on Amazon, for poor quality, loose internal parts, aiming screw issues, etc. Now I'm stuck. I'm ready to buy a pair, and add Laminx clear. But do I go with OEM Ford LED's or the Morimoto? If price isn't the concern, what is everyone's thoughts? And where is the best place to buy the clear Laminx for these? (if I do it myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevets27 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Choosing OEM over aftermarket if price isn't an issue is a no brainer to me. Morimoto's can be found on the retrofit source site also l. Sent from my LG-H933 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where is the best place to buy the clear Laminx for these? (if I do it myself)This is exactly why I was so excited about an OEM option. I was having heartburn dropping that kind of cash on the Morimotos. I ordered the overlays directly from Lamin-X. They were super easy to install and only too a few minutes. I was very happy with the results. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedaykin Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I had to get these https://www.theretrofitsource.com/assemblies/led-fog-lights/subaru-gr-wrx-morimoto-xb-led.html Since mine is non-North American car. No issues with quality, screws were fine, no issues with loose-ness. But, not surprised they weren't up to OEM quality. Sadly I don't know of any OE LED fogs that are of that "GR WRX" type . Guy who owns Morimoto owns TRS as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capttris Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thanks to everyone here for sharing their input! That's what great about this forum. There is a great willingness to help and share information and opinions. I have a friend that works at a Lincoln dealership and can get me the OEM Ford lights for about $100 each. So $200 total plus tax and I pick up locally. I just ordered the Lamin-x film direct from the Lamin-x website, and they have a 20% off special. They didn't list the 2013 Legacy so I ordered the clear film for the 2015 Mustang Fogs. $14.95 - 20%, plus $3 shipping came right around... $14. I'm excited to have fog lights that will be useful again, and not a yellowie-cloudy hazy dim glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Can someone do a video maybe the color will be more true to life. I am on the fence I would love the LEDs especially with the cost of replacement bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Can someone do a video maybe the color will be more true to life. I am on the fence I would love the LEDs especially with the cost of replacement bulbs.Still looks a little green because of the camera, but it is most definitely not in real life. When I put the camera in the beam, that's the color. It's very white, not bluish at all. Probably right around 5000k to 5500k. I don't like bluish LEDs and I am very happy with these. http://youtu.be/IkPm0vKZnFQ Edited February 4, 2018 by GTEASER GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedaykin Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Better than the "6000K" Morimoto ones (too blue for me). They would match the OE HID nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
