here is a thread on why the led (or any other light source fails)
as stated several posts up, the chrome housing is SPECIFICLY designed for a certain type of filament bulb.

What you are seeing on high beam is all of the light rays bouncing incorrectly off the chrome housing....going is all directions thus creating excessive hotspots and glare.



look at the 'FAIL" column. Some of the light is 15-20 TIMES GREATER than the allowable light to pass the test.
granted, it's not and HID it's an LED, but the principle is the same.
One light source CAN NOT (by the laws of physics) reproduce the same light spectrum as another.
