Depends on the LED bulb. Some are good, some are trash. In this case, the LED bulbs produce a beam pattern very similar to stock (except more coverage). They're brighter than stock, but not super bright. And the color is similar to some aftermarket halogen bulbs. They aren't bright enough or annoying enough to get the attention of the cops. Not around here, anyway.
theres a difference between reflector and projector beam patterns. please learn the difference. reflector housings were never designed to handle high lumen led lights. thats why they blind everyone. thats why leds on reflectors look like someone is driving with their high beams on all the time. it blinds uncoming traffic. its also more dangerous and makes rain and snow more reflective. projectors have a beam cut off line so it doesnt blind others...
