A single LED can't have a hotspot... which is what 90% of these guys are using.

The difference in light output is how they're mounted and the angle.

Here's some real Raptor lights for reference




Looks like more glare than this guy...

 

That's not entirely "glare". The Raptor has a much wider beam spread (hence why all of them have the same candlepower) and looks more uniform- no matter what angle you view it from. Those aftermarket ones look like tiny dots- they probably have a very narrow beam spread, and even with that they wouldn't have the candlepower the Raptor lights use. Are you saying the Raptors lights are sub-par to the aftermarket ones pictured above?

 

I'm not a big fan of the single LEDs in the grill. The ones I got are small circular rectangles approx 1"x 2" with 2 LEDs in each. If they don't look right I wont use them and try to find the actual Raptor ones.

 

Raptor's are pretty close to being as wide as a dually...

 

This. The F-150 Raptor is wider than a H1 and just 1.1" narrower than the outboard duallies on F-350s+. The marker lights are there for a reason. And because they are federally mandated, they have to have so much candlepower. That's why Ford uses PLCC2-E3s and not these $20 VatoZone specials everyone is buying up.

 

I like all the extra lights the raptor has. Including the ones around the rear too.

 

This kit is on e bay

 

any chance you have a link or vendor name?

I have one of the new raptor style grills and have been trying to find good lights for it.

thanks

 

Not feeling any of these at all, JMHO.

 

FYI, here's another relevant thread: https://www.f150online.com/forums/il...our-truck.html

 

I spent my weekend adding the grill lights plus some new lights on my side mirrors.

 

 

Where did you get those lights? I've been looking into getting some and those look really good
