A few weeks back a friend backed into my car, smashing one of my headlights and slightly bending up some of the metal support structure on the driver side. Got it all fixed up, and with the new headlights I decided to switch from HID projectors to LED in reflectors for its simplicity and lower power consumption, plus maybe a marginal weight savings.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how clean the cutoff is, and the adjustment screws in the headlight housings work now so I was able to get a better adjustment and also better align the body panels, as I wasn't having to tilt the entire housing for the final fine tuning. They're not as bright as HIDs but definitely brighter than halogens. I can verify they're a reasonable choice for Insight owners which won't blind other drivers.
