I think Kragens are actually Euro's too

as far as I know the kragens are only euro beam. get some of the m&r led lights. can't beat their prices really.

Are they good for distance? I thought LED's were more for a lot of light, but not huge distances. Hmm.

True, but those small LED's aren't going to get anywhere close to the HID's as far as distance goes.

It depends on reflector and lens on how far led will throw light.

Exactly ^^ see post above

Honestly man get the HIDX's. If you set them all up and think you need to replace two with spots, just send them right back and I'll refund you. No problem at all.

For $400 you can't beat it

There was a comparsion of driving lights which covered Halogen, HID and LED in 4wd magazine. What I took from it is if you are going after distance then HID are the way to go. The LED lights are really for limited distance illumination.

Some examples of their results for are (spot only):
*Halogen*
IPF 900 19 lux @ 100m
IPF 900 5 lux @ 200m
IPF 900 2 lux @ 300m
IPF 900 1 lux @ 400m

Lightforce 240 XGT 40 lux @ 100m
Lightforce 240 XGT 6 lux @ 200m
Lightforce 240 XGT 4 lux @ 300m
Lightforce 240 XGT 1 lux @ 400m

*HID*
IPF 900 HID 53 lux @ 100m
IPF 900 HID 16 lux @ 200m
IPF 900 HID 7 lux @ 300m
IPF 900 HID 5 lux @ 400m
...
IPF 900 HID 1 lux @ 700m

Lightforce 240 XGT HID 193 lux @ 100m
Lightforce 240 XGT HID 53 lux @ 200m
Lightforce 240 XGT HID 21 lux @ 300m
Lightforce 240 XGT HID 10 lux @ 400m
...
Lightforce 240 XGT HID 1 lux @ 900m

*LED*
Baja Design Stealth 20" LED 5 lux @ 100m
Baja Design Stealth 20" LED 1 lux @ 200m

Rigid Industries E series 20" LED 4 lux @ 100m
Rigid Industries E series 20" LED 1 lux @ 200m

The majority of the LED bars reviewed where spread only and illuminated to a max distance of around 15-20 meters. There were only 2 (I think) spot LED bars and they fadded away around 200m. Compare that the HID that will give 700-900 meters and it is pretty obvious really.
