I'm interested in the same thing as the OP... An LED replacement that is viable for onroad use without causing a problem for other drivers.
Logs of great full replacement options, but most seem so bright they'd likely cause issues.
Anyone had luck with just a bulb replacement?

I replaced my oem fog light bulbs with a LED bulb I found on eBay.
Left is LED, right is oem bulb
Both LED
No headlights - LED in oem fog housing
Oem headlights pale in comparison to the LED bulbs

I went with the inspired engineering LED fogs in flood configuration. So far no issues, they are bright and almost match the light intensity and color of my JW Speaker headlights. I would however recommend to order in spot confit, because the flood pattern shoots the light really high and wide. If I would order again, I'd go with the spot pattern, but I liked these lights and we're really easy to install with the plugin play harness included

I think it's more how they're aimed. The spots will allow you to aim them more downward and could be used more like standard fog lights. The tighter beamwidth would mean you'd have a bit more control.
The floods would probably be harder to get all the light wrangled in. Would likely work well as a driving light, but would pose more of a challenge than well-aimed spots to other drivers.

It's very likely that any CANBUS equipped Jeep will experience *some* flicker with any LED bulb not wired directly to the battery for power or using some form of capacitor. It may be so little that you don't even perceive it.

Since they only draw 15 watts I don't think the CANBUS has any issues with them. From what I've read anything over 35 watts may cause an issue.
