The fact of the matter is that the stock Bargman lights are horrible quality. They are literally a regular 3157 incandescent bulb placed in front of a flat piece of reflective plastic... that's it. The reflective plastic doesn't do much to project light through the lens, making it a very ineffective light. If you've ever towed in the rain or the fog and seen how poorly the stock lights illuminate, you would understand.
I don't have Bargman lights on my Jayco, I've got the Command Electronics. I was hesitant to purchase their direct LED replacement, as I had never seen them in person before. I just purchased regular LED trailer lights (whole new assembly) and replaced the entire thing, housing and all. My lights are MUCH brighter now and I have confidence towing at night or inclement visibility conditions.
