Default Round affordable LED offroad lights.

Just as the topic states.

If you want the full story... here it is. Had 7 Hella 500FF's ( two on bumper and five on light bar). Now I have installed trucklite headlites. So the Hella's have to go to keep the LED trend going. I want two fog lights for the bumper, two flood for the outside of the lightbar and three spot for the center three of the lightbar. So affordablitiy is a must with a total of 7 lights.

Thanks

I got mine off of amazon. I believe I paid about 25-30 a light. They are bight as mess but the beam pattern isn't as good as the name brand ones. Since I don't do high speed night driving, the 150 yards or so the light up is plenty for my needs.

I dont understand why you need to change those out for leds, but its your money, at any rate remember with led's you usually get what you pay for, the pricier ones cost more, but they last forever and have warrenties backing them up. And amazon is a good place to shop, since if they are DOA or you dont like them, amazon will takem back.

I know what you mean Tim, but I've had nothing but shitty luck with those lights. first of all the wires corroded off the relay, and the second time it was all fixed up the glass fuse connector has started to melt. I know these problems are easily fixable, but I'm having enough of it. I'm gonna lower the watts with the LED's and make all lights match in color and intensity.

fair enough, just make sure to buy them locally/off amazon so if they act up like those first ones they arent hard to return
