Review on High-Performance GP Thunder 9005 HB3 LED CREE XHP50 Headlight Bulbs - 8000 Lumens - Fog Lights - Cool White 6000K - Pack of 2 by David Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent headlights, great as fog if you leave them out

I am using them as fog lights in my 2018 GMC Canyon which has a 5202 base with reflector. I had to lower the fog lights a lot to bring the cut off to halogen cut off, but that's down to the reflector. They're way better than factory fog lights, which are almost useless to us. These LEDs are placed at a 90° angle to the clips, which I want the LEDs to be horizontal. Some lamps have LEDs on the same side as the clips, which can cause the light to go up and down in my application. I suggest checking the lamp base first so you can make sure your LEDs are pointing horizontally. They came with an adjustment key but I didn't see an adjustment screw on the H16/5202. In any case, they are perfectly matched. They are very high quality and absolutely worth the money. I was a bit surprised that they didn't meet the requirements at the time of my order, but they arrived within 2 business days. I've only used the lights for about 30 minutes and they work great. The photos show that one fog light has been replaced to compare with the halogen and the other light pattern and shut off with only the fog lights on.
