Hey I see a Moody Blue truck back there...

How well do they project light, any better than stock?

What is the point of a light/bulb thread without any pics at NIGHT?

I got the ones called "68" as opposed to "18"... I believe that's the number of LED diodes on the bulb therefore making the "68" brighter, I found the dealer through my eBay iPhone app for cheap...

Camera lenses don't pick up the lighting correctly which makes the pictures pointless to post.

Yea Moody Blue is my bro... honestly I've been using HIDs for 2 years now in heads and fogs so I can't really compare to stock, I can say they match my 6000k heads better than HID fogs, and they're slightly less blinding to oncoming traffic than HIDs. Projection-wise I see no difference than HIDs, but could possibly different than stock.

So from driving at night, how much of a difference do you see with the switch to LED? I haven't heard many good reviews so I was skeptical to buy any. I had HIDs in my last truck and am still debating on installing them on this one

while appearing the same visually, the lumen output of the LEDs should be vastly less.

I'm curious about this as well. My HID's in my fogs are also blown out too (either bulb or ballast) and I don't feel like replacing them since I have retrofitted projectors in my heads. Either contemplating putting the stock fogs back in or going the LED route.

I haven't noticed any loss of light by any means, but also I use my fogs in conjunction with my heads as opposed to driving at night with fogs alone, I was just sick of fooling with HIDs in them and worrying about burning up a bulb by switching my brights on and off frequently on dark roads...
