    When you get them let us know lol. I would think less than a handful of people in here own that style kW and 0 of them have led lights.

    But brand wise I run a rigid led bar in my bumper and I love it beautiful bright blueish(led) color so if they offer your kind of style headlight that's where i would look.

    Do us a favor, spend the money and buy good lights - not ones with different color or and other BS. Colors (they are the heat range of the light itself) don't really matter unless it is HID lighting, any coated Haligon or off color LED lights doesn't really help all the time and can be a problem for other drivers.

    I have bought a few trucklite LED headlights, they are OK but I ran across GE NightHawk LED headlights so on the trucks I can replace the entire unit on (Western Stars), I use them.

    They seem to be the best ones so far.

    I do not buy the junk conversion crap that superbright and ebay vendors sell because of a number of reasons oe is the cop who has a bad day and wants to find something wrong but more importantly when I drive my wife’s car, I can't see a thing if someone has crap lights behind me, so to me this isn't always about you and what you can see but how not to blind people while you are driving.

    Please, when you get those those bright lights, remember where the dimmer switch is, and use it.

    Sorry guys :/ Although I have it pointed down a lot so when you're looking straight at it it is not bad at all. But I run really late nights and it's mostly for the back roads and dark highways and it's off most of the time... But my hid headlights and fog lights are just as bad apparently ahaha

    LED bar is OFFROAD lighting device. Good for construction or party. In fog or snow condition LED bar and all aftermarket super duper bright lights are dangerous due to wide vertical light pattern.
    Try to replace OEM lights same as you do tires.
