Yes they would and it wouldn't really be a focused pattern.

If you want the BEST, buy RIGID. expensive, but you'll never have to worry about them.

Bottom line with LED's are the actual Diode itself. As long as you make sure that genuine CREE LEDs are used the manufacturer assembling them doesn't matter. Me personally, I used $100 set that had CREEs in them. The rear bumper is a bad place to put anything expensive between mud/snow build up or someone hitting the bumper. I'd rather replace $100 vs $350

So far mine have held up very well, but i do live down here in Houston, Texas so i don't know how they would hold up in the harsh winters!
