When Chevrolet introduced the Chevrolet Cruze in 2008, it quickly became a popular option for car buyers seeking great gas mileage, modern technology, and a 21st-century look. The spiritual successor to the Chevy Cobalt, the Cruze was designed as a domestic alternative to imported economy cars like the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry.
But as with most vehicles, buyers quickly identified some shortcomings with the Cruze. Though highly efficient and packed with modern tech, the 2011-2019 Chevrolet Cruze utilizes some very dated technology with regard to lighting.
From the fog lights to the license plate lights, the 2011-2019 Cruze still rolls off the assembly light with old-school incandescent bulbs. The yellowish color of these bulbs simply doesn’t fit the overall aesthetic of the Cruze, and light output could certainly be improved!
Fortunately, Chevrolet made it simple to upgrade the Cruze’s lighting with LED bulbs. So, if you want better visibility and a fresh look for your 2011-2019 Chevrolet Cruze, keep reading to check out the most popular LED bulb replacements!
Diode Dynamics LED Fog Light Bulbs
Upgrading your 2011-2019 Chevrolet Cruze’s fog lights? Don’t settle for cheap LED bulbs from Amazon or eBay that may be prone to failure! Our SL1 and SLF LED Fog Light Bulbs are 100% designed and manufactured right here in St. Louis for maximum reliability. For the 2011-2019 Chevrolet Cruze, our LED Fog Lights are a drop-in upgrade!
SLF LED Fog Light Bulbs
SLF: Our H8-size SLF LED Fog Lights provide 780 lab-proven lumens. While there are other companies that claim to have fog light bulbs with a brighter output, they don't take into account the importance of focus. The SLF was engineered and extensively tested to mimic the focal point of your Cruze’s halogen fog lights, providing more usable light output, without causing any glare.
SL1 LED Fog Light Bulbs
SL1: Our H8-size SL1 LED Fog Lights provide a whopping 1630 tested lumens, making them one of the brightest LED fog lights for the 2011-2019 Chevrolet Cruze! Much like the SLF, the SL1 matches the factory halogen bulb's filament location, combining focused output with a huge increase in brightness. The result is significantly more visibility at night!
There’s no shortage of imported LED fog lights claiming to be the brightest. However, most of these bulbs haven’t actually proven how bright they are! To ensure accuracy, we’ve verified the SLF and SL1's light output in our St. Louis laboratory. Because our bulb's light output is proven and not a crude estimation, we can confidently say they are some of the brightest LED fog lights on the market!
