I must be honest and say that when driving on dipped beam (as i do 80% of the time at night) the amount of light, the definition of the beam and the beam colour is vastly superior to the standard halogen units. While i understand the price is high, and the appearance not to all tastes, the extra safety afforded by the LED units makes them worth the money. It's just a shame that you have to buy before you try, as i for one will never go back to halogen bulbs.
