Are there any LED's that I can use in my fog lights?

    I may have asked a similar question a long time ago, but I see so many changes in LED technology that I thought I'd ask again.

    My Prius has the kit shown in the Prius store, they have 55w H11 Halogens in them. Is there a new style LED that I can plug in to replace the existing bulbs that would be visible in the daylight?

    I see the new Prii have LED DRL's too bad they won't retro fit my 2011...

    Thanks in advance! :D

    Thanks a lot for the info, glad I asked about them. Are they just bright but really don't put any useable light on the road? Or can you actually use them to see the road? By accident I have only had my 55W fogs on thinking for a moment had my headlights on... that's why I ask.

    Regards

    Reading the comments in pauerbach's link, I kinda like:

    "defiantly a good buy...". ;)

    I'd just echo ES44AC concerns: are they effective, an improvement on the OEM, throw more light on the ground? (Not that that would be much of a stretch.) The comments on the whole seem to regard appearance, not effectiveness.

    How about Valenti LED DRL integrated Projector Fog?

    DRL part is 3W/each side. Projector fog is 6W/each side

    Even with Xenon, I'm having trouble picturing an 18 watt incandescent bulb putting much light on the road. It should be fine for a running light.
