LED Headlights Vs HID?

So I replaced my current LEDs with these ultra cheap LEDs:

$23 for the pair. They are basically a knock of off these $89 LEDs:

I figured at this price I might as well get them for the low beams and high beams. I was super skeptical of putting LEDs in the high beam but these things are bright as hell. The low beams are also much brighter than my previous LEDs. LEDs have certainly improved in the past year or so. The claim to fame on these is the LEDs are super thin and the mounting surface is also very thin which focuses the light closer to the center like a halogen does. Obviously they will never get the light dead center but it’s much closer than my previous LEDs.

I also parked at a wall and used tape to aim them based on the ISO standard and the cut off is perfect with no random stuff up high. I also parked the car on the road and went down several houses and on the other side to simulate an oncoming car and they weren’t blinding at all.

Long story short, if someone wants to give LEDs a shot these are a cheap option. Only thing that sucks is they ship direct from China so it takes a while (around 15 days). In my case I ordered right before the Chinese New Year so they took over 30 days to show up. I rarely order form ALI Express but it never fails that when I do it’s Chinese New Year.
