Default led spot lights

Anybody using led`s to replace the fog lights in their bumpers? I`ve seen 18watt units with 6 leds for reasonable price. Just want to know if that`s going to be bright enough.

Why would you want to go from 50w bumper lights to 18w?

An 18w led replaces a 75w halogen. I have numerous led`s in my house that are at the same ratio. I want real world input from a user of these on an ATV. 36W in an led produces 2430 lumens. 55w halogen produces 1100-1500 lumens. Enough said?

Relax.
A house get a electric bill every month a ATV does not that's the only point of condescend vs led.

Do you think your ATV will burn less gas with high efficient led vs Halogen?

If you can,t see at night, the All 3 high beam (Pod with bumper) wire bypass is the way to go for free.
Then you have a 60w pod plus both 50w bumper lights at once. That will light up the night.

I just put 27W 4X4 inch LEDs from Amazon on my 500 2 front and 2 rear (rear was going to be 1 until my son drilled the second hole) its like daylight. I have two more for my trailer and I might add them to my rear bumper on my mega cab.

There's your answer.
It requires a drill operator so I guess that leaves you high and dry and out of luck,

I replaced the stock handlebar mounted headlights on my Scrambler 400 with a pair of aftermarket lights. The difference is like comparing a candle to a spotlight. Was also able to hook them into the factory wiring harness so that I could use factory handlebar mounted light switch.

LOW FLIER...CHILLOUT..name calling isnt really necessary,,,some people are asking questions and you dont need to get offended...
there are forums that condone that...others that dont...and some that it simply doesnt happen cuz its not necessary...this is the kind that its just not done...
If reacting with "idiot" is normal please dont turn this one into that kind of forum.

As to the light question I think LEDs give off a whiter lite thus being a more usable light source..it helps it draws considerably less power thats fer sure....and in turns puts less strain on your electrical components...and thats always good.

And they`re rated 1550 lumens. Thanks for the input. 4" might just fit in my `02 Sportsman.
