[QUOTE="4x4TruckLEDs.com, post: 1196060, member: 24442"] You can do HID or LED. HID will give you more lux but as your distance gets greater from your vehicle to the object the light REALLY drops bigtime. They also take about 10 secones to warm up to the right color temp and then about a minute to truly warm up enough to get to their proper light output. I just ran a test last night comparing the halogen lights to a popular HID kit to our 2 brands of LED kits that we sell. We noticed the HID lights kept slowly increasing lux... after about a minute they finally stopped. They threw more light but when I doubled the distance from 25' to 50' the light output dropped significantly. Here is a quick photo to show our results. You can get aftermarket projector kits or even build your own or pay a shop to design one for you. You'll get better quality projectors having something built over buying an "off the shelf" projector headlight kit. Take the anzos for example on my 2015. They are not the best projectors at all. You'd get better results building one. [/QUOTE]
