davedarr · Jul 24, 2011

These are called SMD ...(just a smaller version of the LED)

2 x 18 5202 H16 LED Fog Light Bulbs off of ebay...these fit the new 2011 jeeps with the funky bulbs.

I payed Price: US $19.99. Its a quick plug and play replacement of the factory bulbs.

I just picked some LEDs up. How the heck do you get the original bulbs out?... Does the fog light housing pop out the front somehow??? I feel like I'm close tp cracking some plastic!

Here soon, I plan on installing a 6000k HID kit for the headlights. Still need to get resistors and harness for the ballasts.

These came from Hong Kong...which took about 2 weeks to get to me.

Murman · Jul 24, 2011

I just ran the info on Google.

Thank you.

I have also replace all the interior bulbs with SMD's as well. It makes it alot brighter and nicer to look at.

MrJeepR44 · Jul 24, 2011

Those are awesome. Can you take a picture from inside the Patriot at night to show how well they light the road? And also show what they look like turned on with the headlights on the road? They look nice and I want some.

davedarr · Jul 24, 2011

I have my whole front windshield tinted 54% tint so the pics from inside looking out are hard to tell with the camera how much it lights up the road. Here is a pic 20 ft back in total darkness.

davedarr · Jul 24, 2011

Think it was like $3 something per set of SMD bulbs...all bought off ebay.

MrJeepR44 · Jul 24, 2011

You don't happen to have part numbers or a link for the interior lights you got do you? Just taking a quick look, the stuff I am on ebay seeing is kinda generic, not very reassuring

andrewmsmagee · Jul 24, 2011

all the interior bulbs seem to have a different number on them -.- BUTT they all seem to cross reference to a 578

I'm looking at getting these Fog LED's,

yesss, im aware they are $90 but that's not really an issue

It is a 28LED bulb versus the regular 18 bulb one, which just means more brightness lol, but since you tried yours and they work without any extras, i can go ahead and buy mine soon

epper:

andrewmsmagee · Jul 24, 2011

uh ohh.... i may have to rethink my purchase.. LOL

68 LED bulb for $26..... hmmm i may be buyin this instead :S

davedarr · Jul 26, 2011

The 68 SMD bulbs are just smaller and prob put off about the same amount of light.

Here is an example of the actual SMD bulb size in comparison.

I love the look and brightness of my LED Interior light upgrade. I got CREE 42mm festoon style bulbs for each location for anywhere from $4-8 each. I tried several different ones on Ebay and even the cheap $3-4 ones work great! If you can afford CREE brand then go for it, they are amazing! I can't wait to do my fog lights with LED's since I use them as my daytime running lights and most of the time I drive anyway.

croat · Feb 8, 2013

Be aware that LED fogs look nice, and the color is nice, and they appear brighter when looking at them right on. But they do not put the same light out - its far less than OEM.

SREJECT · Feb 8, 2013

I'll probably keep my stock fog bulbs in for a while since high output LED technology isn't quite there yet. I have seen some lately getting better and better color and brightness.

Jeepaddict · Feb 10, 2013

Steve- How many bulbs are in each overhead housing? 1 or 2?

SREJECT · Feb 12, 2013

Just one 42mm festoon style bulb in each housing except the front one has one bulb on each side for the driver/passenger. I needed 4 bulbs to do my entire interior.

Jeepaddict · Feb 12, 2013

Thanks!

SREJECT · Mar 22, 2013

For the Interior LED's

On the left side of the light housing lens, there should be a notch just big enough to get a small-medium flat head screwdriver into there. Very carefully pry that open and the lens will swing downward or come off completely. Don't look into the light while you work, I blocked the light and used my flashlight to help me see what I was doing. Good luck!
