Hi,

I guess I should have made it more explicit in the post, but the lights are not blinding. The pattern of light , the beam spread and cut off, is the same as with the halogens. The colour of the light is different yes.

They look like, to the observer, HID lights. The lens pattern cut off is quite sharp and defined and there is very little stray light.

Remember, the experiment was to see if this particular type of led bulb would work in my e code hella lamps.
