Upgrading fog lights to LED's

[davrob36]

Hello Kona fans. I am hoping that someone can help in converting my halogen fog lights to LED's in as much that I purchased a pair of bulbs complete with decoder / resistor kit but after installing them the lights do not work.
So I thought I would ask if any body else has had the same experience before I start crawling under the car again. Is it that fitting the decoder / resistor kit that has caused the failure - thou i have been told some of these bulbs can be polarity sensitive , which means turning the connector 180' and rechecking.
Having already changed all the other halogen bulbs to LED's with no problems other than fitting a decoder / resistor kit to stop - tail lights - excepting the headlights which in the UK is a no no.
Reading all other folks experience it appears that most people get away without fitting decoder kits - so after checking the polarity situation perhaps I should do away with the decoder kit - your thoughts and any other ideas would be appreciated.
Or a simple question has anybody had to fit a canbus decoder kit to there car when fitting up foglights with LED replacements.
Thank you.

Love the pictures of NEW - NEW Kona

Hi davrob36, I am doing the same thing, I am not very experienced with the Kona, wishing you good luck as some LEDs are polarity sensitive like you say, so I would try again with the polarity reversed. I haven't swapped out my 35w Fogs (H8) yet, I am hoping I do not have to install load resistors or decoders?
I will search for a static cornering light thread too as they are H7 35w too and it would be great to fit LEDs.

Any tips greatly received? all the best. Cornish

Sorry missed your reply Cornish but yes have completed my task and yes is was a matter of turning bulbs 180' and all working fine with the resistor kit.
Hope all goes well with yours.
