    Monster' it'd be awesome over your way, HID driving lights are certainly the go for loooong distant illumination. Spot the eyes earlier for sure

    Weighing up the costs of leds in the dash and indicators etc vs bulbs i think i'll stick with bulbs very rarely have i had to replace bulbs and usually have them laying about anyway.

    My reverse globes with 120 leds only cost $8 for 2. It didn't cost very much to convert all globes. Amelia what headlight globes are you running??
    sounds strange you can't see on rainy nights

    Yeah how do they go under water ? and at $8 for two that's well over $50 just to do parkers indicators etc are the brake and parker combo's more expensive ? then spares lol i can't justify it.

    Led work light might do the trick though.

    Brake/parker were cheaper from memory, they can't blow, don't know about under water, but socket in water no matter what. last 4x4 the globes were rusted in sockets.
    You can get coloured LED but no point if lens already coloured,
    Maybe not for all but I like instant on/off look
