Spend the $50 on an HID kit for the headlights. High Intensity Discharge.

No LED's out there that you can get for a reasonable cost, can put out what they need to put out in the headlights. Unless you're talking turn signals.

Thread title was confusing...I was covering both bases.


Yes, I've seen it, I ran it at one time. both with HID's and without. Search a member named Trepaul86...he's running led signals and corners and hid's. Tons actually run that setup, but you'll just have to search to see it. White led's look weird with halogen headlights bulbs. but with 6000k hid's, the look is perfect.
