Thanks Tom! I did quite a bit of research before I ended up purchasing the LED's that I did. I got the Supernova Gen 3's from https://headlightrevolution.com/
They have quite a few videos showing how different LED's perform on base headlights that do not have projection lenses. All LED's are definitely not created equal as you will see through their videos. Some have very poor patterns, even though they are brighter than stock. If you are not getting a good light pattern from your new bulbs and getting a brighter light, then why switch in the first place

I'll also add that these lights provide significantly more light on rural roads. They provide a lot more light in front of and off to the sides (ditches). I always use them at night on rural roads. In town, not so much.

Hey look at me
Lights on a vehicle serve 2 primary purposes.
1. To see.
2. To be seen.
"Hey look at me" is 50% of the equation. If is saves only 1 life once, it is well worth the price of admission.

Led fogs only. Notice white cut off line on trees and porch rail. They are actually a little high
Led fogs and low beams
Low beams only. No white cut off line on rails

Thanks, iknfixit.
I was at the dealer the other day and the parts guy couldn't find LED fogs in the computer, but I didn't have the part numbers at the time.
I've since ordered the bulbs that SHO4CY referenced and will be installing them next week when they get here. They've already shipped, and they're a less expensive alternative. Based on his images farther up thread, the sharp cutoff beam pattern of the OEM Halogen bulbs is retained. That was a must for me.

I put LED bulbs in my 16 standard fogs and have great coverage now, BUT I think they are a little off because I occasionally get flashed by on coming.
Can they be adjusted? I had them replaced when the original ones cracked.
