most are not, we're still outfitting the light bars with halogens for alley lights, the front take downs are LEDS merely for reliability.


Consumer grade LEDS are getting better every day but are still not what I would consider a decent substitute.
Of course this coming from a guy with lousy night vision and a light fetish.
I have 110W headlight bulbs and did the upgrade in the stock fog light housings as well. I'm happy. I have yet to see an LED that would keep up, that includes the fancy/high end ones, short of going with the Vision X brand which doesn't even come close into being in the same category as 98% of the lights out there.

That's why I said if a guy was simply lookiing to use them as fog lights they would proly be ok but not if they were trying to turn their fog lights into driving lights....
