Somebody has it on this website or i.saw the video on rigid and it looks amazing, thats my next mod to my car, after the hids and led fogs im going to get that 10" led bar and put it in the middle hole of the front bumber it fits perfect

Light, from any source, does not "cut through" anything. It is not a particle with a force that can seperate smoke and leave a path, or indent water, or anything like that.

LED lights are not as effective in headlights/fog lights/driving lights as incans. Ever see a car with LED lowbeams or highbeams?? :cool:

Yes, I have, almost bought one for my wife. Some of the Toyota Prius have them as part of the highest trim level package.

Someone that like to experiment should consider putting an LED in one side only and make a comparison test at night to see which one emits the most light down the road.

The reflector may have something to do with how well an LED works compared to a regular bulb.

Agreed! If the reflector can be retro fitted with another one that may be the ticket to longer range/higher light output.

Bingo! The reflector/light combo is the secret. Anyone doubting LED brightness or strength should buy one of the new MagLite 2 or 3 D cell LED flashlites and compare it to the power of a standard buld or Halogen bulb MarLite. These new LED Maglites can throw a spot across a field and onto a woodline hundreds of feet away. Many times the distance of the traditional MagLites. If I didn't see it for myself I would not believe the difference. The technology is there for good LED's, but sadly most LED's are sold on price or gimmick instead of quality.
