From what I've read, the LEDs are extremely bright and light up very well right in front of you, but the light doesn't travel as far as standard halogens. Projector HID's are still way ahead of LED's. Quality Bi-xenon are the best, you will not have a delay when going from dim to high beam.

Here is my recent post on my led headlights in a reflector housing I really liked the way they looked and the 5000k color temp looked really clean in the truck it was just pure white no blueish tint at all the low beams are ok but really bright right in front of the truck high beams are useless.
Here's what I posted about mine not long ago. As for the scattered light my beam pattern was very similar to halogen on low beam correct placement of the light in the housing is very important. Mine were the older version of their lights though. They are really bright right in front of the truck and it makes it hard to see down road because you want to focus on the bright spot. I recently just took my LED headlights out they just aren't where they need to be yet with the reflector headlights housings and I don't know how they work in projectors but I'd rather use hids in projectors anyway I know they work. And none of them are actually legal to use on the road even the ones like my lifetime led bulbs that said they were dot approved on their website but there is no dot number. Everyone that makes them has concentrated on making them so bright and not enough on the beam pattern. They are so bright in front of the truck and the down road and pretty much washed out for lack of a better term down road and the high beams are completely useless. And mine were positioned in the housings correctly which is very important and theywere aimed properly as well. There is another member on here with an 08 but his is an xl model and I think it's ge that makes a replacement for the sealed beam housing that is awesome. The best thing you can do is either have projectors retrofitted into stock headlight housings and use hids which need to be in a projector housing or just get some sliver star ultras or equivalent from ge or Phillips and just live with it till someone comes up with a better led solution.
