I ditched the factory halogens for led in my truck. The housings had been polished to their extent and would not come clear anymore. So I installed the leds and new housings along with led replacement fog lights made by Rigid. Just those alone made a huge difference. They are now brighter than my wife’s Navigator factory HID lights. Add to those the 20” led lightbar in the grille and 10” between the fog lights in the bumper, and while driving alone at night for work, they make a huge difference.

Having sold auto parts once...an observation. Nearly all parts have a price range from cheap to premium. Marketers have at least 3 levels of quality, usually more. You generally pay a 20-50% premium to get that last 10% of performance. Bulbs are a good example. Also works for batteries, tires, brakes, filters, etc. my two cents: Never buy the cheapest unless you are selling the vehicle...it’s garbage. The ‘mid tier’ is the best value....but it’s also the highest profit since it has the highest volume. My recommendation for those that pay for labor....go with the longest warranty/life. In my case...I’m not price sensitive and do my own work....so I buy the most expensive parts for my vehicles....including bulbs. I mitigate the expense by buying online. Headlight bulbs on Amazon cost less than half of what they run in a brick and mortar.
