Hella ValueFit Design 500 LED Driving Lights

[Sol]

I started looking into aftermarket LED lights since my new shorty bumper has no provision to reuse the factory fog lamps. There’s cheap LED lights that seem to all come from the same place despite the various off-brand names. Then there’s the high-end LED lights that get rave reviews but are way beyond my budget for a fog light substitute.

At about $50 each for the lamps only or $125 for the 2-light kit with relay, the Hella LEDs hit the sweet spot for me. These lamps also use 1 watt less than the factory halogen fogs so I was able use the existing fog light circuit.

It’s not real well documented, but these Hella LEDs have an “accent” lamp. Thanks to tips in the DRL thread by @blnewt, I used a fuse tap (Bussman BP-HHTR-RP from a local Autozone) to tie into fuse 54 so the accent lamp is on with the engine running.

Amber covers are on order so I’ll have options for the look of these LEDs.

Just want to say thanks for posting this. I got a set of these for Christmas and have been wanting to wire them into the factory AUX switches. I had no idea what the mentioned "accent light" was. Ill just wire them together to keep it clean. Thank you again.

Ryan, you’re welcome and I’m glad you found the post helpful. Please post pics once you get the lights installed.

Hi, I’ve been wanting to buy these lights but I want to know if they are bright enough? Are they worth it? Do they light up the road? Thank you

Yes to all.
Even with the amber covers on, the Hella LEDs will outshine my halogen high beams. Keep in mind mine are a flood pattern and shine up as well as out. There are also spot versions available. I’ve been pleased with these lights and they are holding up well over the 6+ months since I installed them.
