VisionX OEM LED Vision X's LED fog lights (#XIL-OE0210DRUM4010) – a leader in LED after- market lighting – are a perfect replacement for the OE fog lights in today's full-size pickups. VisionX's OE 3-watt LED Technology produces three times the light output of the 35-watt factory fog lights and last up to 50,000 hours. Each light has a narrow beam pattern that provides a tight beam pattern for great distance while a polycarbonate "fog" lens can be snapped on for inclement weather use.
