I've been looking for LED lights to replace the factory lights on my CH35H with factory cab. The 4 inch LED's I've looked at seem a bit on the heavy side compared to Halogen lights?? The Factory Cab is only thin fiberglass, I'm afraid over time the vibration and a heavy light will crack and break the fiberglass mount. What are you guys using for LED's on your factory cab?? Thanks

Heavy LEDs but I have metal mounting brackets.

I wouldn't say these are heavy but they are very sturdy metal cases. No cab here but I wouldn't be afraid to mount these on one as long as I put a backing plate inside. I'd do that for anything I would attach to a fiberglass/plastic part.

LEDs are pretty light in and of themselves. However they cook themselves at higher temperature, so need a big heatsink to keep them cool. The heatsink is what adds the weight, despite mostly being made of aluminum.
