Default LED Headlights?

Hello Enthusiasts

Ich surfed a little on ebay.com and then i saw it:
LED Headlamps

Does anyone know those? How ist the Light? Is it better than stock or even worse?
I dont see any screws to adjust the Beamhight. Is there nothing to do so?

And what is with DOT? Do they have it?

Does anyone have any Photos of the Light to a wall or so?

While LED lights are brighter, they do lack the projection abilities of even the stock lights . The improvement will be for around 10 feet in front of the car, after that, not so good. My opinion is they would be a total waste of money if you expect to drive your car at night.

find the ACA projectors - they're a fantastic upgrade to the stock lenses. they have projector low beams with a nice pattern & keep the pop-up-ness.
