I think it is important to remember why companies started putting LED's into their vehicles. So you can see them. UPS and others install them because they ARE cost effective. A couple of $30.00 lights is a lot cheaper than removing some distracted (read cellphone)driver's SUV from the side of one of their trucks. I have put a lot of time, energy, and money into my old ride who's lights were not great to start with. Anything I can do to prevent damage to it AND me, I consider money well spent.
