Sylvania bulbs form Advance. My experience with segmented LEDs has been spotty.

will it fit a 2012 RT fog light?

These are direct replacement for the H8 fog light bulb.

Curious..!!

the warning states the fog lights will not work like factory...as you may well know if you hit fog with brights you will refelect it back at you making your visibility worse. I would be leary of these for the fog lights...:lecturef_smilie:

Hmmm... But if you actually use your foglights as an aide to being SEEN by others... :thumbup:

naw

yeah I have bought some for my bike and my car , they suck!
waste of money, in my honest opinion. LEd's for road illuminations are just NOT bright enough - spend a few bucks more and get HID's. saying that because I have never known someone to use their
foglights for FOG only . everyone here in Texas has their fog lights permanently on, its legal in our state ...but ,our neighbor Oklahomans will get ticketed unless its foggy conditions.:banghead:

Those are tip lights. I have the Philips in mine. I am looking at the Sylvania Silverlight for the fog lights.

That's what we use them for. As they are from the factory, they are useless as a true fog light.

:agree: :gaah::banghead:

Does that mean that I can use these to replace the rather dim fog light bulbs (not the fender lights) on a 2012 RT-S?

 

[Bob Denman]

Apparently; yes! :thumbup:
They will fit...
How they actually work as a foglight??? :shocked: :dontknow:

Cool. I'm gonna buy two. After installation, I'll report back.

Stay away from these type of bulbs. Take it from someone who has been experimenting with and using LED bulbs for 7 years now. Yes, there are LED bulbs that are great to use. LED SMDs that are mounted close together (like these) and sealed up in a housing will suffer from two issues. For one, they will not put out much light. Good for daytime running lights, but very poor at producing usable light. The other issue is fatal. Due to the issues I described above, the lifespan of these bulbs is short. You most likely won't get more than 50 hours of total use.

ok. Thanks for the "heads up"

If you want to use LED bulbs, you can use spot lights like any of these, as they produce a significant amount of light and have built in heat-sinks to dissipate the heat:

....or those that are similar to any of these. They are water tight, and yes, I've been using them for over a year now without fail. They use very little wattage (usually around 10 watts per light) and they do a great job of lighting up in front, as well as the sides (great for spotting deer on the sides of the road). The only issue I've found with any of the LEDs that work are that they tend to produce a "photo like noise". Those of you that are photographers will know what I'm talking about. It isn't horrible, and the extra light combined with low watt usage, to me, is worth the trade off.

I thought you were kidding on the price. Alas & Alack, you were not. Wow. I think I'll stick with my two flashlights and zip ties!
