LED Headlights from Xenon Depot - has anyone here tried these?

9006 LED Headlight Kit | 9006 LED Upgrade

$119.xx for the set, minus a 15% off coupon.

I'm looking for any comments on beam pattern (glare for other drivers?), ease of installation, early failures or any other issues.

I'm interested because:
Amps draw for these is only 20-40% of what the stock halogens draw. This will be a big help for me as my headlights run directly off deep cycle batteries, the alternator is intentionally disabled. I need to run headlights a lot in winter and even with two deep cycle batteries they don't stay bright as long as I wish they would. Barely OK for my daily commute (total 100 miles) but not OK for road trips.
