I made the mistake of buying these. The high beams were pretty good. The low beams were no where near bright enough to drive down a dark country road with. Downright dangerous. After the second night of trying them 3 of the high beam led's on the passenger side went out. I sent them back and fortunately got a full refund.

That is very impressive. I've read that Audie LED Head lights don't illuminate as well as HIDs, but those Harley lights are great. There is nothing (but cost) to stop someone from making a drop-in LED replacement light housing for the C5 using that technology.

So it wasn't to clear, are the low beams bright enough for night driving, and how is the quality, and have you had any issue of them burning out?
