Bulbs with filaments have a reflector that directs the light, so it is focused to meet the DOT requirements. So, I think the directionality of a LED is not going to be a problem. In theory at least, they still have to be DOT compliant.
I will take a look at the space behind the Leaf's headlights and if these look like they will fit, I am tempted to get them. Cutting the power consumption by slightly more than half, and almost doubling the light output, makes these quite tempting.
