Superbright LEDs Headlamp bulbs

[Ibanez GSA60]

So here are now LED headlamp conversions for our trucks, and I was wondering if anyone here has tried them, and if so, how well they work. I'm hoping to have functional high and low beams, without the lows blinding other drivers (see HIDs in reflector housings). the links to the kits are below

Even their own image shows it completely changed the beam pattern on the low beams, which is NOT something you want. Someotherguy used a different kit which appeared to maintain a decent pattern with his TYC headlights. Might want to figure out which kit he used.

From their own images, these will blind people as badly if not worse than HIDs in reflector housings.

The image after that one shows the beam on a wall at 25ft, and it looks to be a proper low beam.

This one? Nothing about this is proper. This appears to be a test in a projector housing. The "step" in the cut off is turned into a valley by the LEDs. The "mountains" to both sides are going to blind drivers.

Okay, I see what you mean. Sucks that I'm restricted to using halogens in my factory housings.

I used LED's from TorchStar which keep in mind any of these LED's you see are just China's finest sold wholesale to a number of different retailers. You kind of have to track them by appearance alone. I've seen the exact same ones I got for $70 being sold for $100 and more.

They're OK but not great; I do like them better than halogens in terms of brightness and color. I like them better than HID's in terms of pattern. They're not as bright as HID which is actually a good thing; aftermarket HID's are usually obnoxiously bright and combine that with poor pattern and they're a loser all the way around.

I see you already found my thread about these but here's the link for anyone else reading this later -> http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthread.php?28147-LED-headlight-bulb-replacement-install

You mentioned a glare cap. Is this in the bulb itself, or the housing?

If you can't find led bulbs that pattern well you might consider 9011 / 9012 bulbs. They are the same wattage as stock and pattern well enough in original housings. The filaments are aligned in the same orientation as 9005 / 9006 bulbs.
