L.E.D. TECHNOLOGY:
Light emitting diodes, more commonly known as "LED", represent the cutting edge of lighting technology, LED lights operate on a totally different concept than traditional incandescent or bulb style lights. Instead of using a brittle metal filament that is susceptible to road shock and vibration. LED's are solid-state devices (i.e., no moving parts) utilizing an electronic chip that is encapsulated in an epoxy substrate. This design provides increased durability and a protective seal from road elements like dirt moisture and other corrosive agents.

Brighter Means Safer:
Improved safety may be LED's most important benefit. LED light provides instantaneous and brighter illumination compared to incandescent bulbs. This makes your vehicle more visible to other vehicles during lane changes and emergency stopping situations. In fact studies have shown that LED lights, because of there quicker and brighter response times, provide an extra 24' of stopping distance at 60 mph*

Less Power Drain:
Because they are very energy efficient, LED lights consume less power..... up to 90% less power than incandescent bulbs. This reduces the load on your tow vehicle's electrical system including the battery and alternator. Extended battery life and improved fuel mileage are direct money saving benefits.

 8 MONTHS vs. 22 YEARS
In today's market, most incandescent lights are rated for 3,000 hours as compared to 100,000 hours for LED lights. Consider this real world comparison. If an incandescent light was "on" for 12 hours a day 7 days a week, it would need to be replaced after 8 short months. Under the same circumstances, the LED light would last 22 years before needing a replacement. You would replace 33 incandescent bulbs before you would replace just 1 LED light.
