Hello,
For many of the vehicles with halogen headlights and fog lights, they can be switched over to LED. However they may not be DOT approved/street legal. You need to see if they are legal in your state. Also most of them will require some modifications for proper installation as the back of those lights are larger than the halogen lights. Sometime they require cutting the back of the headlight cover for proper fit.
