LED 881 bulb for my Elantra fog lamp

There was nothing wrong with Phillips 881 bulb, its just that this LED 881 has been on my radar for quite sometime and finally I decided to give it a try. With a total of 13 smd LED..that should smack off the old Phillip 881 bulb.

Order it from ebay, arrived in 9 days and its from Hong Kong! It's emitting white bluish ray instead of the phillip 881 with white yellowish.

This is how bright the 881 led's...quite acceptable.

A closer look..
When compare the brightness between DRL and 881 led...the DRL is way much brighter.

As I have a DRL..the fog light wont be use most of the time. Its just that in term of colour, its not far different from DRL as compare with Philips 881 bulb. As an added precaution, I have stick some blue tac to prevent any water from sipping through the rubber gasket as this fog light does not comes with waterproof cover like on my Matrix. The rubber gaskets on the 881 bulb is not that realiable either.

I bought 1 same like yours but don't know how to install it. Did u do the installation yourself?

Yes, I DIY the installation.The inner fog lamp plastic holder is quite fragile.If you are not sure..I suggest you go the service centre to get them install or any car accessory shop to install it.There is no need to removed the front bumber.
