Passing lights? I have heard this term many times but have never for the life of me ever figured out what the hell a passing light is? Must be a regional thing that I ain't a part of

If you have 4" lights like Cobras, you really can't. The 4"LED lights have a larger rear package and won't fit in the chrome housing. Search for a complete swap of lights.

You have some options. I used a couple of these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAR36-Round-LED-Flood-Bulb-for-Truck-Tractor-Work-Light-Replacement-Par-36-/331672209494?epid=1065284371&hash=item4d39344856:g:gZ0AAOSwU1FXQI6H
in the 4 1/2" Cobra housings. A little modification was required, had to buzz down the (hollow) protrusion on back with a multitool to get 'em in the narrow housings and also hard wired 'em in. I like them a lot. Finally have LEDs all the way around on the Silver Bullet -- headlight, running lights, tail/brake and turns -- with switchback cool white/amber turns in front.
I think others have used Daymaker type 4 1/2" leds with the Cobra light bar.

It's super simple. Buy 4.5" DayMaker LED's, and install them. They are plug and play. I installed some in my Cobra Lightbar. The bucket is shallow so I had to modify the wiring, but otherwise it was simple.
