LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology has made leaps and bounds in the last few years and have gotten much brighter. But they produce a broad light not a focused light (more flood than spot). If you want an LED fixture to broadcast with any distance the money is in the reflector and lens. Using LEDs as side markers or tail lights is different because they are used for notification, meaning they are viewed not used to provide light to see by. Don't get me wrong you can find bright LED headlights and fog lights but quality LED fixtures are going to be costly. If you want good light to see by you should look into HID, they are currently King when it comes to shining brightly. Follow the old saying – you get what you pay for. I recently purchased 4 LED fog lights off of eBay for 22 bucks. I knew they were going to suck but I didn't care because they are mounted under the jeep and used as rock lights which they will work fine for. As fog lights they won't work at all. They are cheaply made and wouldn't cast light further than about 25 feet. .
