    ...but only two lights shine far enough ahead to be useful when traveling in a forward motion faster than 12 mph lol.

    You are showing the high beams here, right? This shot shows they are shining too far down the road for low beams and will blind oncoming drivers with glare.

    That’s a picture of the low beam on uneven ground. I also dislike people who aim their beam too high or put hid lights into particularly bad halogen housings. Literally blinds you for a good couple seconds.

    have anybody tried to upgrade their foglamp to LED instead? i already have the HID from the high end variant its ok but when im traveling on the middle of the night on mountainous area i cant see clear enough on low beam, or did anyone tried to replace the HID on that kind of headlight? is there a LED bulb model to fit on that housing?

    I bought have these. The led bulbs still work after a year, noticeably brighter than stock but they're still just polished turds that don't provide a ton of light overall.

    In my oem fog lights I put LEDs. I'd say their bright enough to be headlights but they only point very low so no distance as fog lights are meant for distance. Very bright and add excellent close and side range light.
