Notice that disclaimer on your H13s? These are not street legal for use in your headlights. Do they really fit your fog lights?

I have some "old school" KC spot lights on my buggy that used to run H3 halogen bulbs. I switched to multi-element LED which turned the lights into floods due to the multi-path light sources. These off-road lights became my on-road DRL's even though they technically are not DOT rated. Sometimes you can mix and match things to get the desired output even if that was not the original design.

I don't think it'll be that big a deal using these lights. I have LED headlights on the F-250 and don't consider them overly bright. These aren't the super bright lights you can get but they are brighter. I'm very good about turning off high beams to oncoming traffic. I'm installing ditch lights today for those dark at night mountain and desert roads we travel from time to time. It's nice to be able to see what you're turning in to at night in the pitch dark to the sides. Would hate to accidently turn into a ditch or a rock.

Don’t be a “light cop”. It’s not very becoming.

he has a point though, I can't stand aftermarket plug in lights because people plug them in and don't index them so you don't get the proper light pattern and you blind people. for the fords there is a proper indexable one that you may have to put it in and out a couple time if you don't get lucky the first time, but it will have a proper cutoff and work good with the ford reflectors.
I am not sure if the sylvana's are indexable if they are they will be fine, if not they will be horrable.
