RS Foglights - Are there better bulbs?

A good performing fog light will illuminate the sides of the road with a bar shaped beam and very distinct horizontal cutoff. Its not meant to be an auxiliary light.


Most plug-n-play bulbs will distort the beam and create more glare and more foreground (more than what is considered acceptable).


There is the full aftermarket replacement option but unfortunately no company has every catered to the Cruze and its unique fog light bracket. Which means you can purchase a 'universal' style and try to fabricate your own brackets. Some extra work for sure if your capable but not really difficult.
TRS (theretrofitsource.com) sells a good projector fog lamp for a reasonable price. Then there are projector offerings from Osram which are much more pricier. Under the Sylvania ZEVO nameplate you'll find the reflector style LED fog (with LED DRL) for half the cost. Still has a good beam pattern.

And then there is OEM led fogs from the likes of Toyota/Lexus, Dodge/Chrysler, BMW, Nissan/Infinity, etc. You can find used sets on ebay for pretty cheap if you watch for the deals. Again, all of these options require custom mounting brackets.

Infinity Q50

Most cars including the cruze really don't have Fog lights they are basically auxiliary lighting. They will help some in the fog by lighting the the road right in front of the car.

My 2016 G2 cruze I have the RS package so it came with the fog/auxiliary lighting and they work well for what they are. Projector style lights do not light of the road in front of the car as well but these auxiliary lights do a great job of lighting up the road and corners of the road. If you looking for a whiter light and little more light any decent LED bulb will be fine. If you want much brighter and better pattern a more expensive led will help.

You have to remember these lights are not designed to light up the down the road like your headlights do. Can you make them do it yes but make sure you aim them so you are not blinding other drivers.
