I've used them in the fog. They are alright but nothing stellar. I think for heavy fog it might be nice to have a lightbar or something else as a backup. Still, they perform better than factory headlamps in the fog, I'll say that much.

An unexpectedly shortened staff at work delayed the pictures I promised but here they are.
Pictures were taken with an iPhone but I used the AF/AV lock to maintain the level of brightness between each picture.
Here is the passenger side lamp upclose with lowbeam on:

TruckLiteLED High beams:

LED's on LowBeam. Notice the bright spots on either side of the chair and the scattered cutoff line (or lack thereof)

LowBeam without the chair in-cab:

TruckLite High Beam. Notice they're brighter but there isn't much change in coverage for the area of light.

TruckLite High Beam in the Cab:

OK, now for the fun part. I swapped out the passenger side LED for the HID I had in before I attempted this "upgrade."
It looks like my XJ is winking:

LED low beam on the left, HID low beam on the right. Notice the difference in area coverage.

LED High beam on the left, HID high beam on the right.

My HID High Beams: (They still need to go a little lower, I think, but you can see the difference in cutoff lines and area of brightness).

I finally installed my Truck-Lite LEDs today. Tonight I will test them out on the road. (Pics taken on my iPhone 4S)
So clean!

Definitely confirmed my suspicion that HID would still beat out the LED in terms of brightness. I'm going to stick with my original plans of an open beam housing with bi-xenon HIDs.
The LED definitely has it's advantages with life longevity and low power draw, but HID is tried and true.
