Side facing leds   why would I want that.
Een mistlicht schijnt toch alleenmaar voor uit, en volgens mij heeft de 850 geen side reflectors die het licht weer vooruit zouden zenden.

Of zie ik dat verkeerd ?

Volgens mij heb je helemaal gelijk, ik zou het liefst gaan voor de 6 naar voren schijnende leds.

Its not 100% confirmed at the moment whether a bulb with only forward facing bulbs is more effective than a bulb with more LEDs but not all of them pointing directly forward, though thats what logic would suggest right? Arguably, a bulb with more LEDs whether they're facing forward or to the site will give off more light and so a brighter output might be expected. Either way, these will render your fog lights pretty useless for actual use but should look awesome when matching the HIDs if you have them installed.



Thats why unless I can get a custom bulb made with multiple forward facing LEDs (like this one above) then I'll be ordering the 6LED bulb (which is also cheaper)

Ik zie allemaal foto's maar geen van die foto's heeft een H3 fitting?

This is the original H3 6 forward facing LED bulb



the 9 LED bulb looks like this but with an H3 base



the third MAYBE possibility is that we get a custom bulb made, no details on that yet.

Just had a brief conversation with Thuur who has quite some knowledge about LED lighting (he's also assisting on the front lit gauge cluster project).

He recons that a bulb with MORE LEDs, regardless of where they point, will be better and brighter than an only forward facing bulb because of the reflectors behind the projector lens, making the bulb act more like a regular filament bulb and thus more light.

This is something I've also thought about but was unsure whether projector style fogs even had reflectors behind them; apparently they do, meaning the 9SMT bulb would perform and look better...

so regardless is this is the case or not, the more the LEDs the better, so a 24 LED all forward facing bulb would obviously prevail better, or even a bulb is mutliple LEDs point in several directions.

Ach, het is toch al verboden om je voor mistlichten te voeren 99% van de tijd.
Dus dan maakt het ook niet veel meer uit of het nu toegestaan of echt bruikbaar is.

Als het er maar vet uit ziet. 

Awesome news people, we have the ability to create our own custom bulb which means we can add as many LEDs as we like, more importantly, as many as will fit.

Which is why I need someone to measure the opening of where the bulb fits through into the fog light space of a V/S70 and post the dimensions for me on here, I will check on my C70 for the coupes and softtops, others can double check with me.

I think this will be cool if we can get as bright an LED H3 bulb as possible, this means we could have a bulb retaining 6 or more forward facing leds like the current bulb, plus add a bunch to the sides as well

Ik zie er toch maar vanaf, heb geen Xenon en denk ook niet dat dat in deze auto komt. Lijken me die heldere leds in de mistlampen ook niet zo mooi staan. + denk dat de politie toch gaat zeuren als ik ze aan heb ondanks de minder felle leds, doen ze nu ook al.

Dus hierbij een nieuw lijstje...

Anyone on the bulb opening dimensions of an S/V70 fog light?

Managed to bust up one my bulbs in the process (doesn't look like the bulb was replaced in the entire car's existance!) space on a C70 is BARELY 15mm, so that doesn't leave a lot of room, doubt the S/V has anything smaller, so lets go ahead with that.

Ik ben er van het weekend achtergekomen dat mijn voor mijn S70, type H3 vermeld wordt in het instructieboekje, maar er daadwerkelijk type H1 in zit.
Ik had dus mooi de verkeerde (H3) lampjes besteld , maar ik mocht ze gelukkig omruilen voor H1  (ondanks dat ik het doosje al had opengemaakt)

Advies: Effe checken voor dat je (het verkeerde) besteld.
