why not LEDs? I just got some but have not installed them yet. I find them to be very bright.

they are bright when you look at them and when you are in the car and look at the coverage immediately in front of the car. They don’t give ‘down the road’ light.
I have Radioflyer’s Bi-Xenon headlights, properly aimed, and light the road in front of cars in front of me. LEDs work when they are behind a compatible lens. Our stock halogen lenses are designed for halogens.
BTW, looking at earlier posts, I had the bright white PIAA’s, and Toshiba HIR’s. Both provided significantly more light than average Walmart bulbs.
