It’s nice that those avoid blinding other drivers, but you’re definitely getting a far worse light pattern for yourself.
Halogen reflector housings are computer designed for a filament in a halogen bulb that is long (front to back in the direction of vehicle travel) and emits light on all sides relatively evenly. Those LEDs are not emitting anything up or down, so you’re not getting light in a lot of the directions you should be. The light to the sides also isn’t the same shape as that from a halogen bulb, so you’re probably ending up with hot and cold spots that way too. The only way to safely change the type of light your vehicle comes with is to replace the housing and the bulb together with a set that are designed for each other. No drop in replacement (LED, HID, etc) will ever give you proper light patterns, and 99% of the time will actually reduce your visibility, even (and especially) if it looks brighter from in the cab.
You speak with such authority. But have you even used them before?
Because I can assure you that I can see a lot better with them. Much better. And it has a nice pattern.
But you do you.
