Did you have the 35w kit in your fogs? Funny how no one mentions that over at Denalitrucks. How is the light output of the LED? I know they look good but I've heard its junk. I want them to function better than they look.

I have read in multiple places that the DDM HID's (though I don't know if it is limited to DDM's only or all HID's as I was just looking for DDM results) melt the fog housings over time.

The stock fog bulbs are 27W, so anything higher than that you need to be cautious.
