Cree: powerful
Canbus: built in resistor, error free
I assume you're referring to these Cree LEDs which claim to be error free with the use of the load resistors:

They probably will work the same as the Lumen LED bulbs I bought from CARID, which also claimed to be "error free" without even the use of the load resistors!

I installed separate load resistors with the Lumen LED bulbs, and they look great, with no error codes, but the resistors got dangerously hot (as I posted previously).

Plus there is no good place to mount the resistors near the fog lights, unless you extend the wiring quite a bit.

Anyone else have any luck with LED fogs? They look amazing! Just wish the resistors didn't get so hot!

Anyone know if a different resistor would work? Something that will actually reduce the load on the resistor so it wouldn't get so hot?
