Default Looking into LED lights.. your thoughts?

I am currently looking at changing the stock front lights to the led lights on my 2010 silverado, i know my existing lights are fairly bright... would changing to the led's be better or worst for my truck??

The drl lights or turn signals? If you want to change em. You'll need to use a resistor so they don't hyper flash though

The light ties in with the day time running lights and im just not sure if i would lose the original brightness from my stock lights or would they actually be better.. i am mainly interested in the look but not willing to sacrifice the level of brightness..
Sorry about the link i have no idea how to post pics..

I did my signal and parking lights 3 years ago for $15. Doing them again now because the same 200 lumens is a third of the size it was,shatterproof,rubberized and waterproof. Landscape bulbs! Never had a problem with the flash thingy.
The headlights were harder. I had 9006 and 9007 led conversion units from Amazon for $35 for freightliner. Quit job before installing soooo... cut holes in the back of my glass halogen lights and glued those puppies in. Still can aim them like stock and much brighter.
Just got some big amber led fog lights.
you just have to go slow and start with a big tube of E 6000
