Do you want brightness or focused light so you can see at night?

Brightness may be good during the day, focus at night.

How many hours do you need the lights to last?

I put a set of LED bulbs in our Phaeton and the good news is that the generator likes them because they draw very little power and are very bright. The bad news is that they don't throw much light at night to see down the road. Will be following this thread to learn what other people use and results. Thanks.
